Saturday Traditions: Brunch

One of my family's favorite traditions is "Saturday Brunch."  That is the one day during that week that we get to have our "cheat morning" and eat out at our favorite local restaurant.  A year ago, that restaurant was Dilly Deli. It's a quaint little cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Tulsa.  Sadly, Tulsa is no longer my home, therefore, Dilly Deli is no longer my tradition. 

For the past year, we have tried to find our Dilly Deli with no luck. Really, there's no such luck.  THERE IS NO RESTAURANT LIKE DILLY DELI.  With that being said, it was our stroke of luck that I found "Toast Cafe." Toast Cafe is another "quaint" cafe situated in Ballantyne, NC right off of Rea Rd. Hardwood floors, dark interior, bright yellow walls, with a pub feel mark this little cafe.  No surprising, the food is awesome:  REAL homefries, REAL eggs, FLUFFY omelettes.
