Boulevard Woodgrill

I joined a different brunch bunch today honcho'd by my friend DeDe, who chose Boulevard Woodgrill in Clarendon.  I had been there once before and wasn't impressed.  The food was unmemorable and neither was the ambience.  BUT... in giving it another try for brunch, I found a real gem.  I had the standard breakfast shmorgasborg with eggs, bacon, potatoes and french toast.   It was all fine.  I had saved the french toast until the end since with the syrup it would be a sweet treat.  One bite into it and I knew that this was the BEST french toast I've ever had.  I don't give such complements out lightly.  It was crusted in a crunch corn flake "breading."  This crunch exterior and soft interior had the texture of the perfect french fry -- you know how if you cook it hot enough, the inside melts and the outside is crispy?  That's how this french toast was.    I also complement their bloody mary... or Boulevard Mary.  If you like a spicy one, then go for this.  And a Skrimp on the edge of the glass for garnish provided a unique taste treat.  This brunch certainly reversed my previous impression on this place.
