Stuffed French Toast from NJ

Monday, November 16, 2009

Turning Point serves only breakfast, brunch, and lunch.

Kirk Ruoff says the main reason is that so he can be home in time for dinner.

It's located at 92 Ocean Avenue in Long Branch, plus four other locations in New Jersey.

Here's the recipe to one of their most popular dishes:
