Food fads crack me up. How does a particular food suddenly rocket to stardom and command outrageous prices at restaurants? Take avocado toast for example. As far as simple meals go, I enjoy it as much as the next person, but it didn’t have to become an expensive brunch offering at a chic bistro to get me to pay attention. My mother-in-law has been making it at home for 60 years. Well, we’re Californians, so what can I say? Avocadoes have always been pretty mainstream here, haven’t they?
Okay everyone, I understand that going out for breakfast can be a fun treat, especially if you haven’t been out for a while. Why not order something requiring a little more labor like eggs benedict or Belgian waffles? Cuz for my money, I would prefer to make my own avocado toast and eggs for $1.50 and spend the rest on a nice bottle of champagne. Who’s with me?
