Sweet Lorraine's Cafe & Bar

If you're looking for a new place to try with a unique atmosphere and creative entrees, check out Sweet Lorraine's Cafe & Bar! It had been a few years since my last visit here, but it was as great as I remember. Tonight I ordered a delicious maple‐cured salmon broiled and served with a Michigan dried cherry salsa & rice pilaf. The Michigan dried cherry salsa wasn't as good as I would have hoped, but the salmon was outstanding. Cooked to perfection. As you can see from the picture below, my plate had a lot of character. The carrots were so sweet and the rice pilaf was a great complement to the salmon.

I also had the opportunity to try their famous Lobster Mac. It was no ordinary Mac n Cheese dish; it was crafted with bacon, baby lobster tails, swiss, cheddar, diced tomatoes, and toasted focaccia breadcrumbs. If you're a Mac n Cheese lover, this is definitely a place to put on the list. If lobster isn't your thing, they also have a Truffle & Mushroom Mac and Bacon & Cheddar Mac with applewood‐smoked bacon.

Sweet Lorraine's has a couple locations in the Metro Detroit area. I have only ever been to the Berkley (technically Southfield) location. But they also have a spot in Livonia as well. This restaurant has a lot of great reviews out there. Check is out! http://www.sweetlorraines.com/

Toast Birmingham

Toast. One of my absolute favorite places to go for breakfast. This may be a well-known spot, but it is so worth talking about! It had been a little while since I had been to Toast for breakfast, so this past weekend was a treat. One of my favorite dishes is their Granola Mountain French Toast. It's so good that I want to get it every time. French toast with yogurt, berries, honey and granola... who could ask for more?

On the menu this past weekend they had a Lemon Raspberry French Toast. This definitely caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. I'll let the picture speak for itself:

Challah french toast with raspberry coulis and lemon glaze. It was even better than it looks in the picture. If you ever come across this special, highly recommend you give it a try. Toast has an outstanding menu for all meals of the day. And if food isn't enough, go for the atmosphere and waitstaff. Check out their website for a full menu. Like them on Facebook for more info on their specials!
