I recently went to Parallel 17 with a friend for brunch/lunch. Typical to Chef Mary Nguyen’s other restaurants, Parallel 17 brings such a fun unique feel that foodies and non-foodies alike appreciate the great unique twists. My friend and I were awed at the stuffed french toast – an amazing french bread stuffed with blueberries, walnuts, ricotta and cream anglasae. When it says stuffed it really means stuffed (inside – not like a sandwich). The outside of the bread had been deep fried so it had a delicious (and I’m pretty sure not healthy) delicious crunch. We also tried the calamari salad – which was equally delicious. The meal was topped off with lemongrass cotton candy, lots of laughter, meeting Chef Mary and a promise that I will be back with my foodie son.
