Toast
Included In
There are times we’ve been sitting outside around midnight at Jockey’s, the bar next door to Toast near the Fairgrounds, watching (and smelling) the team cook bread, sauces, and jellies for the next morning. Few things have ever inspired us to get our asses home and go to bed quicker than that. The crepes, toasts, and omelets are all extremely good, but the aebelskivers are the real star of the menu. The puffed pancakes come dusted in powdered sugar and have a bunch of sauces to choose from, the best being the tangy lemon curd. This is also a spot where you’ll be rewarded for waking up early—if you get there between 6:30-7:30am on weekdays, they have a two eggs, bacon, grits, a biscuit, and a cup of coffee deal for $8.
