Me < French Toast

Kirsten and I went out for breakfast this morning at a joint called First Watch, a breakfast-and-lunch-only restaurant (hence the name). The food is fine, the atmosphere is kind of dinerish, kind of Bob Evans-ish, and Kirsten got herself some raisin bread-based french toast.

For some reason, Kirsten's one of those crazy people who puts butter and syrup on her french toast. I'm not sure what's up with that. Syrup goes only on pancakes and waffles. See this handy chart:

How to Decorate Your Breakfast

• Pancakes: Butter with syrup, or fruit preserves


• Waffles: Butter with syrup, or butter with honey


• Belgian Waffles: fruit preserves, butter with syrup, or butter with powdered sugar


• French Toast: butter with powdered sugar, or fruit preserves


• Toast: butter with honey, peanut butter, jam, or cinnamon and sugar

Some of you may question the honey on waffles, which is fine, but it's quite good. One thing you may notice, though, is that there's no syrup option for french toast. So there.

Anyway, I asked Kirsten what she'd choose if she had the option of taking either french toast with syrup or me, but not both.

She picked the freakin' bread.
