California-Avocado Toast
Welcome to the Golden State and another Great Plate! The beloved Avocado Toast is not a new trend. Oh Nooo, in the San Francisco Bay Area, people have been eating avocado toast since at least 1885. In 1915, the California Avocado Association described serving small squares of avocado toast as an appetizer. It’s been called alligator pear and midshipmans’ butter, but in 1993 the Instagrammable avocado toast served at fashionable all-day cafés, Bills in Sydney, Australia is where it got its start. Bill Granger is credited with the first to ever put avocado toast on a menu, but seventeen years after Granger opened Bills, a young, relatively unknown American chef named Jessica Koslow showed up in Melbourne to soak in Australia’s modern café culture. She returned to her birthplace, L.A, and. opened Sqirl, a daytime restaurant in the Australian model. Koslow created her own version of avocado toast topped with a worldly assortment betraying her professional cooking background: garlic cream, pickled-carrot curls, sumac, and sesame seeds. This would be a pivotal moment. Putting serious cooking techniques behind trendy wellness food, Sqirl set the stage for a new kind of American restaurant. Let the avocado toast craze begin!!
Small’s version of Avocado Toast starts with crusty pieces of Ciabatta from La Farm slathered with cream cheese and mashed avocado blended with red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning and lime juice topped off with some slices of avocado and an egg made any way you would like. So simple, yet so so tasty!
