Chef Mimi's French Toast

Charlottesville's Hotcakes- on Barrack's Road. I've only been in once, but their pastries looked mouth-watering, and they also have their own signature gourmet dishes that looked like they would rival Whole Foods.

Chef Mimi sent me this picture of her Sunday Brunch from Hotcakes...Raspberry French Toast

For the record, French toast DID originate in France, unlike French Fries. It is called "Pain Perdu", or lost bread, because during medieval times, wasting food was not an option. Stale bread was moistened and heated, and eggs were added for protein.
