Has anyone ever actually ordered avocado toast in a restaurant?

[Anonymous]

I know it's a millennial brunch meme and it looks pretty on instagram but I've literally never seen anyone young or old order it in real life. It's something my teen daughters make once in a while when they're hungry and want a quick snack. I don't even think it would be good at a restaurant because fresh toast turns so hard two minutes after toasting. I don't understand how it became this cultural representation for money-wasting young people if nobody is eating it in public.

Yes, it’s delicious.

Yes, I frequently eat breakfast out at hotel restaurants or similar for business with clients. Sometimes I get avocado toast.

I don't get it. Avocado tastes terrible. If I were making it at home I'd need to add a bunch of seasoning. Butter is so much better.

Most places do season it and it’s better for you and more filling than butter.

I did in California at a farmer's market/festival where it was so fresh and delicious.

Me, and it was delicious (even leftover)

I do because I don’t eat eggs so it’s a good brunch option. It sometimes has radish, tomatoes, water cress or micro greens, and seasoning on it. The bread doesn’t get soggy or hard. They serve toast with a lot of meals, what’s the differenced?

Put some paprika and pickled red onion on top and it's so good. It's no more wasteful than any other restaurant meal.

Yes of course.

My kids call it a "struggle meal." Ordering it for $10+ in a restaurant seems embarrassing.

I order it all the time. I go out to brunch with friends a lot, and I often don’t feel like something huge like pancakes or an omelette or something. And I’m trying to hit both vegetable and fiber goals all the time, so. I order it. It’s also really good.

I get it at Dunkin sometimes. I don’t eat eggs and I find their breakfast sandwiches to be too greasy for me. I get it when I’m there and I want something more substantial than a donut (or in addition to a donut!).

You must be very easily embarrassed.
