Dear producers of The Closer

No fucking way is that the "best French toast in Los Angeles."

Hell, it's not even the 2342nd best French toast in LA.

Because what you showed was a slice of (likely untoasted, actually, given the lack of any sort of color shift) whole wheat bread. With no sign of egg, and a light powdering of sugar. Which means, basically, that it wasn't French toast at all.

First, the best French toast is made with challah. If you must make it with another bread, white bread, French bread, baguettes, and other styles work. Whole wheat is about dead last on the list of breads to use.

Second, it's cooked.

Third, you use motherfucking eggs! Otherwise, it's toast.

Great show. Lousy prop manager.

Yah, that was lame.

Ep was good though.

Portuguese sweetbread also makes A1 quality French toast. If you can find it.
Challah also rocks. Haven't had it since my wife stopped working at the Jewish pre-school...must go find...

I second the vote for Portuguese sweetbread French toast. So, so tasty.

I haven't tried it, but why in the world would one use a thymus gland for French toast?

This is what the best french toast is made of:
Semifreddi's cinnamon twist (http://www.eastbayexpress.com/bestof/award.php?oid=oid:18427&section=oid:17197&year=2002)

It's french toast porn.

[yendi]

Oh, dear god. Challah with built-in cinnamon?

Porn, indeed.

The best french toast evar is made with cinnamon bread.

[yendi]

The cinnamon challah mactavish links to above does sound wonderful, but regular challah cinnamon bread can't hold a candle to the other stuff.

I just use the cinnamon bread from the little bakery downtown, eggs and milk and a little bit of sugar for the binding and then fry it in a buttered griddle. Best ever.

You shall have to prove this to me when we're finally up there.

I will bring a hot plate, pan and ingredients to Pi-con if you want me to.

Believe me, brioche can work quite well.

[yendi]

Brioche is actually my second favorite choice of bread -- I'd just blanked on it when writing the post.

I'll refrain from telling you about the horrible miscegenations I've perpetrated in the name of vegan french toast.

[yendi]

*shudder*

I'd prefer not to think about that concept, thank you very much.

Challah. French. Toast. Rules. All. Known. Universes. End of statement.

[yendi]

Preach it, brother!

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Challah is of course the best. That challah cinnamon sound delsih. Cinammon bread works very well.

Here's another suggestion if challah is out that you'd not consider, but my lord it works amazingly well. (remember I have a culinary degree!)

Corn bread!

[yendi]

Hunh. I've never tried that one. I'll have to give it a shot.
