| - I really have to get something off my chest. I love breakfast. But I also love sleeping in. So you can see I have a problem. But that's why there is brunch. Brunch solves the problems of hungry pillow huggers everywhere. So thank you, Brunch creator. Wherever you are. Whew, ok. Now, here's the review...
Marigold Kitchen was recommended by my sister who is a Madison-ite. We were perusing the Dane County Farmers Market during the summer and she suggested we meet up with some of her coworkers and have a quick bite. Marigold's was paaaaacked. The line was out the door. There's no wait-to-be-seated area, it's a order at the front (well, the side) and find a table if you can. The waiters are definitely helpful in scouting out a spot, but it can be chaotic if you're unprepared. Luckily, we found a nice spot outside on their tiny little sidewalk patio.
I'm a slave to good French Toast, so it wasn't even a question of what I would order. We also ordered a giant carafe of orange juice which was tasty, but nothing I've have better. For the French Toast bread they use awesome brioche. They had lightly drizzled sweet cream on top with a mixture of fresh summer berries that included strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Slivered almonds and a side of maple syrup completed the French Toast. It was...delectable. Perfectly crisp on the outside, but thoroughly cooked yet moist on the inside. The sweet cream and berries were perfect without the syrup. But I prefer not-so-sweet breakfast, errr...brunch items. My sister had the Duck Confit Hash which she raved about. I'm not a duck fan, so I opted out of trying. But I'll take her word for it. The French Toast was more than enough for me to 5* review this place.
