On the way out of Melbourne Saturday morning I had to snap a picture of this sign. What exactly is Chicago French Toast? If I would have had time, I would have stopped in and asked. It made me wonder if Australians would get a chuckle out the Outback Steakhouse's menu.Also note, the pumpkin scones. K and I have discussed how pumpkin is a prominent ingredient here and how we love that.

When I stayed in Australia, there was a pizza place across the street from my hotel. I ate dinner their one day and lunch with co-workers on another day. They had a long list of pizza topping options, any many of the combinations had special names. I was struck when I realized a pizza that they called "The American" was topped with "hot salami." What made them think that hot salami was an American pizza topping, I wondered?
For whatever reason I was thinking about it again a day or two later and realized that hot salami is almost certainly what we would call pepperoni which would be a fitting enough choice I reckon.
I don't believe, however, there is a lesson here for your Chicago French Toast (which sounds a bit oxymoronic when you think about the first two words especially).
