Hour Best of Detroit 2010
Winner--Best Breakfast and Best Pancakes

994 Detroit (March 2010) - A Toast to Toast
Writer Kelly McKay says "With a new dinner menu, live entertainment, delicious cocktails, and affordable prices, it's safe to say Toast isn't just for breakfast anymore." She continues, "Toast is the kind of place where diners come as they are without having to sacrifice excellent service, impressive dishes and fine cocktails. So stop in, raise a glass and share a toast."

DetroitMommies.com (February 3, 2010)
"October 1 (2009) marked the 1 year anniversary for the downtown Birmingham location. From what I can see and taste, this place is here to stay. My taste buds are still dancing and I wish my arm was hooked up to an IV with their amazing Blueberry Margarita. My experience was top notch and I can't wait to go back."

OaklandCountyMoms.com (February 4, 2010)
Reviewer Lisa Lagrou writes, "Toast is the perfect place for an after work get together to unwind with some great finger foods and some drinks that will have you forgetting about the bad week you had. The atmosphere is very modern, romantic, beautifully decorated and just plain fun. Casual enough for families, and a great match for the perfect date night. It's the type of place that is surrounded with an ambiance that lifts your mood!"

Writer Joe Hakim says, "Upon walking through the doors at Toast, I was struck by the mix of metallic, soft, & kitschy. It all works together to blend into something welcoming.ďż˝ The atmosphere is laid back & fun. Toast is a place where you could have a steak, fries, & a beer or a perfect spot for a date night."

Examiner.com (March 29, 2010)
David Moss of examiner.com says "Toast in Birmingham is turning some heads these days. The atmosphere is comfy and inviting. The decor is an eclectic mix of retro and contemporary art and knick knacks. I've enjoyed breakfast, lunch dinner and cocktails at this location and found the food and service quite good." He continues, "Try Toast any time of day. You won't be disappointed."

MetroTimes Interviews Chef Jeff Rose (March 24, 2010)
Metro Times asked Chef Rose, "What new cuisines or trends are apt to appear next?" Rose replied, "People are doing big, bold flavors. That's the trend: clean flavors, Peruvian, South American flavors are very bold." Read the entire interview at www.metroaimes.com/food/story.asp?id=14901

Table Talk, Meet the Chef: Jeff Rose (Crain's Detroit Business, Dec. 30, 2009)
Nathan Skid asks Chef Rose, "What is your favorite item on the menu?" Chef Rose replies, "The seared salmon with lemongrass basil broth and rice noodles. I love lemongrass because it's light and effervescent but not overpowering. To me, chicken should taste like chicken, beef should taste like beef. So if you don't like salmon or are only eating it because it's a health alternative you won't like this dish." (To read the entire interview, go to http://tinyurl.com/ChefJeffRose

A Toast to Toast (Redux), Dining in Detroit (December 15, 2009)
Nicole Rupersburg writes, "Much like their food, which is cleverly trendy yet completely comfortable at its base, Toast is a comfortable, casual establishment which may look the part of upscale retro-chic Birmingham bistro, but plays more like a friendly (dare-I-say Ferndale?) diner. This is simply a great place to meet friends, have a few scrumptious cocktails, and enjoy some hearty food served with a mile by a fast new friend.
