Best french toast ever consumed...
If you want to try the best french toast ever made - you will have to travel to Granbury to stay the night at the charming Iron Horse Inn. This is the only way you can experience the homemade breakfast that Judy and Bob will prepare for you! Our breakfast began with a large plate of fresh fruits made up of cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and bananas. Then came the amazing french toast! (By the way, this french toast was better than the carrot cake french toast at the South Congress Cafe in Austin). What made this toast so fabulous is probably the fact that it soaked in a special mixture overnight. The mixture consisted of eggs, milk, orange juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and taragon! After soaking overnight, the toast was topped with butter and chopped pecans and placed in the oven for baking. Once the baking was done, the large ball of delicious homemade sausage was added to the plate before serving. I don't think I can ever order french toast again because I know that all french toasts after this one will be an utter disappointment.
The Iron Horse Inn is a lovely bed & breakfast located near the downtown square. The house was orinigally built in 1885; however, a fire in 1905 destroyed everything except the basement/wine cellar. Another house was reconstructed in approximately 1906 which is the house now being enjoyed by multiple visitors to Granbury. One of the most unique aspects of this b & b is that the 1885 basement that survivied the fire has been converted into a suite known as the "Wine Cellar Suite." Since FWJoey and I love wine, we thought it was only appropriate to stay the night in this suite. Wow! What an experience. The temperature is naturally cold in the wine cellar and when the sun goes down, it is pitch black and totally silent! To some, it might be considered erie, but to us, we just thought it was cool!
The owners of the Iron Horse Inn, Judy and Bob, were wonderful and friendly so if you are looking for a unique overnight experience in Granbury, check out the Iron Horse Inn. Tell Judy we sent ya! And be sure to request that she and Bob prepare the french toast for breakfast while you are there!!
