Topped with brûléed bananas & toasted Texas pecans, under butter maple syrup. So thick, soft & moist! #DessertforBrunch! #BrunchWithAView

With apricot maple whipped cream. So good! Really moist & fluffy. The whipped cream was subtle & added a nice creaminess.

Soft & pillowy challah french toast with lovely crusty edges. The raspberries were grown in the owner’s garden. Now that’s local!

This is the cute little truck that does great french toast!

Thank you #GabrielRucker! I made this french toast while watching his Instagram Live demo from his home with his kids while his wife filmed it & read our comments aloud. It was fun! I made some modifications, like using a whole grain miche from #BienCuit here in NYC. I replaced fresh lemon zest with preserved Moroccan lemon rind. I can’t believe that I had most of the ingredients, though. Even the vanilla ice cream. I used old lavender buds I had bought for tea. Anyway, it was good! Would’ve been better maybe with a softer bread. It was also quite sweet, but I balanced it out with dark chocolate & coffee.😊😋
