Bills Darlinghurst
Australian Chef Bill Granger was the first to put avocado toast on his menu in 1993. “I’ve always been a morning person,” he said. “And breakfast recipes are never too complicated – it is short-order cooking and I’m a short-order cook.” Granger’s most popular dish, avocado toast, was on the menu the day he opened. “It was a natural thing to do,” Granger said. “Australians are not a sweet-toast eating country – jam isn’t our thing – and avocado struck me as a healthier alternative.” For the perfect example of this simple, creamy, peppery dish, bite into his open-face sandwich of multi-grain bread lathered with mashed avocado, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice, finished with a dusting of red pepper flakes.
