You have taken the french toast off your weekend menu … a favourite for so many. Also I used to have an omelette that was delicious … what is on the menu now is not what I would call an omelette. Scrambled egg with a clump of cheese on top and your version of shaved truffles (looked like it came out of a shaker bottle) … an omelette, everything is inside! Missing these two favourites …
