Has anyone ever actually ordered avocado toast in a restaurant?

Your kids don't have any idea what a struggle meal is as those struggling aren't buying avocados.

+1 how tone deaf

Again, they cost under a dollar. I'm in the "can't imagine buying avocado toast at a restaurant, but enjoy eating at home with garlic salt" range of middle class. It's like how I wouldn't buy oatmeal out. It is a cheap food to eat at home.

They are usually about $1.70 each at my Giant in Nova. They had them for $1 each for two weeks recently but I haven’t seen that price in years. Please share where you find them for less than a dollar.

+1 Its a good choice at First Watch

A friend of mine ordered it at first watch, it was quite large. Looked good.

Doesn't taste like anything and the sharp edges of the hard crust will make your mouth bleed but it it LOOKS so chic and elegant and bright green. Sign of the times, I guess. Yuppies ordering overpriced snacks as a meal because it'll 'pop' in a photo for their instagram story.

What? "Yuppies" and "sign of the times" in the same breath? Yuppies were a 1980s phenomenon.

I think not. Have you ever looked at the fat content in avocados?

That is not the recipe. The only time I had bad avacado toast was in Ireland, where they bascially put quacomole on bread. That was gross. And that is guacamole on bread, not avacado toast.

Yeah — I was just at an expensive Hilton in Florida and this was basically their avocado toast. Very disappointing. I’ve had it other places and it’s so good if the avocados are good. Topped with some picked onions, arugula and a poached egg is perfect.
Pancake House in Rockville actually does a decent version.

Why is it so good? Is it the seasoning or something? I love this avocado toast, and I'm mad at pretty much everything about Dunkin' these days (I worked there in high school and I'm super disappointed in the quality and selection of the donuts now). Well, their coffee is still good.

So what you're saying is you don't eat out for breakfast. Because she breakfast food can't be made simply at home?

I often order if because it feels llle a better value than paying $15 for pancakes I can make at home for basically nothing and which have sadly no real nutritional value. Even better if it comes with a poached eggs beach poaching eggs are sort of a pain.

Avocados, marinated tomatoes, poached egg, sauteed onion, chili oil, feta, micro cilantro, Italian rustico

Holy sodium bomb.

Silver Diner and delicious do not belong in the same sentence. Start over.

Same, if done well with perfectly ripe avocados and an egg, it's a much better money value than pancakes and much more nutritious.

I had no idea they sell this at Dunkin Donuts. And it's good?!

No. I make all brunch items REALLY well so we never eat items like these or eggs out. If we eat brunch I'm going to pick something like a croissant or other time consuming or special bake good I'd not make myself.

They are $0.65 at Aldi right now - they don't break my $150/week grocery budget for a family of 4. They are usually underripe but good after a couple days on the counter.
