Getting items from a buffet like pancakes, waffles, or French toast is always hit and miss. If you are lucky enough to get them when they are first put out, they can be really good, but when they sit for even a short amount of time they start to go downhill pretty quickly. We do what we can to keep these items fresh on the buffet, but even when our French toast was fresh, I didn’t think it was very good. We had been using just a grocery style Texas toast for the French toast. It helped keep the cost down, but if I don’t like it, then I have to assume my customers aren’t too happy with it either. I started doing some experimenting with the different breads we use for our sandwiches, and the challah was a definite winner. When it is fresh, I think the French toast with Challah is amazing, but even after it has been sitting in a chaffer for a while, it is still pretty good. So now every weekend, we will be making our French toast with Fresh baked bread from Modern Bakery (another Michigan product).
