A “TOAST” to Excellence!

I was invited to represent Detroit Mommies for an exclusive tasting event at “TOAST” in Birmingham today. October marked the 1 year anniversary for the downtown Birmingham location and 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 I.V. with their amazing Blueberry Margarita I sampled today! Note to self; drooling is not very lady like! EVER! All joking aside, my experience was top notch and I can’t wait to go back!

I had the honorable pleasure of meeting Thom Bloom, who Co-owns the establishment with his wife, and their overachiever Executive Chef, Jeff Rose. I can honestly say I didn’t feel like they were trying to impress me but rather, I genuinely felt they were simply sharing their passion for the food, the wine (other sample size concoctions they teased me with) and the overall unique restaurant experience. Mission accomplished!

When it comes to categorizing or stereotyping  TOAST as a restaurant, one can not. There’s nothing stereotypical about this place. I’m sure to Thom and Regan Bloom, it’s really just their dream come true. As parents to a toddler themselves, the Bloom’s know how important it is to be able to go to a restaurant that will suit the entire family’s  needs. Having an array of menu items from Mac & Cheese to Duck is an open invitation to all Metro Detroit Parents. It’s not just the food and superb service that has kept TOAST in business for this past year, it’s also their prices! I was surprised to see the more than reasonable price list for the entrees as well as their wine list and other adult beverages.

It’s not often that I’m impressed with eateries these days but TOAST does have the ability to pull off “Let’s do Breakfast” to “The Mandatory Business Power Lunch” to “Family Friendly Dining” and then shift over to “Date Night” without breaking a sweat. Now they just need to open one in my home town of Rochester.

TOAST is located at 203 Pierce Street in downtown Birmingham 48009 and the business line is (248)25-TOAST (86278). Make TOAST your next out to eat experience and I’m sure you too will be TOASTing to Excellence!
