Nicole Yates, whose Polish Goodness pierogi we've written about here on Meal Ticket, passes along word that Ida Mae's Bruncherie (2302 E. Norris St.) is serving French toast using babka baked by her mother, Rita Zebrowski. Ida Mae's chef and owner, Mary Kate Ralston McCaughey, whips up the dish using thick slices of the Polish dessert bread — handmade with folded-in cream cheese, golden raisins and a crumb topping — dipped in the batter she uses for challah French toast. It's available as a special regularly for $8.50. Polish Goodness has also added cheese babka to its product list.
