The Good Table in Cape Elizabeth was the winner of yesterday’s Incredible Breakfast Cook-off competition held yesterday at Sea Dog Brewing. The winning dish was a Creme Brulee French Toast. Here’s a description from Mignardise,
A hearty French bread, soaked over night with eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, Grand Marnier and other diet-busting ingredients, then baked to form that signature brulee crust. With fruit on top, just to make you feel like you might be eating something healthy. Amaaaaazing.

I think everybody in the Portland area must have read about The Good Table’s Creme Brulee French Toast. By the time I arrived there (around 11:20AM) it was no longer on their menu (they had sold out of it). The wait staff seemed too be generally frazzled and there were a bunch of tables that went uncleaned for the entire duration of my brunch, so I suspect that they probably really got hit this morning with folks hungry for this standout dish. This wasn’t the best brunch experience of my life, but I will return to try the french toast.
