The best thing since sliced bread? Toasted bread! Though delicious on its own, carby comfort gets worlds better in the hands of our talented chefs. Sliced sourdough is toasted until golden then spread with creamy, lemon-kissed ricotta. Juicy apple and crunchy walnuts top the toasts, followed with a golden drizzle of hot honey. A tangle of peppery arugula-apple-walnut salad provides welcome contrast. Truly a toast with the most.
