Three Trips to Savor: The Triangle
Toast feels like the kind of restaurant we should have in Virginia-Highland but dont: astylish little cafe that serves fresh, creative and quickly prepared foor with panache.

Sandwich a Day: Rapini and Sweet Italian Sausage Panini at Toast in Durham, NC
The bread was a crunchy, olive oil-glossed beauty with perfect grill marks, and the slices of sausage were large, sweet, porky, and studded with fennel.

Durham Dining: Pies, Panini and Barbecue
Daily specials are driven by what Mr. Cotter finds at local farmers’ markets. During my visit, those selections included fantastic two-bite crostini topped with a creamy mix of avocado, lemon and Grana Padano cheese, and a perfectly crisp panino with fresh asparagus, truffled cheese and fluffy, bright yellow egg, a colorful combination of contrasting textures.

Savory slices of life>>
To date, Toast is the only restaurant in the Triangle to bill itself as a paninoteca, a sandwich shop that specializes in making panini. Lucky for us, it's a very good paninoteca indeed.

Durham’s TOAST is More Than Just Bread >> Next we tried the crostinis. Each were a perfect 2 bite size, the bread tasting like it had a good bit of garlic rubbed on each slice, and the toppings were fresh and zesty. I could have ordered a plate full of these crispy treats with a glass of Pinot Noir and been the happiest person in the place. It made me want to try them all.
