Snapshots from Malaysia: Breakfast at Toh Soon Cafe, Georgetown, Penang
I don't think I'd ever been to an eatery famous for its toast, but that's why locals and visitors crowd Toh Soon Cafe, a Chinese coffee shop (or kopitiam) occupying the better part of an alley off Campbell Street in the city of Georgetown.Video: OK Go's New Music Video Animated on Toast
Best known for their "treadmill video" as well as other impressively executed ones, the band OK Go has come out with their latest music video for their single Last Leaf. This time, it involves toast. Many, many pieces of toast. They designed images on each slice with laser cutters, which makes for a pretty entrancing stop-motion animation. And you might crave toast after.Poll: How Do You Like Your Toast?
We love our toast. We like toast with jam, a drizzle of honey, smeared with Nutella, maybe just a smidgen of butter melting into oblivion. We also like it with cheese, with apricot preserves, for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, and for a midnight snack. But our question to you is, how well-done do you like your toast? Do you like it pale, maybe with the slightest hint of gold, or sunburnt to a deep caramel finish? Take the poll! »Morning Video: Kogepan, the Burnt Bread Anime Character Who Dreams of Being Unburnt
It's tough being a burnt bread bun. In this video, Kogepan, an anime character who deals with identity issues wishes he could look like all the pretty breads (aka the unburnt kind). He goes to great lengths—sit-ups, other cardio workouts, and intense study of the unburnt lifestyle—in hopes of entering this other side. Grass is always greener, even in the world of starches. Watch the video to feel his pain.British Perfect Toaster with Window
Never burn your toast again — unless you get distracted. [Photograph: Telegraph] After 15 years of toiling, British engineers say they have perfected a toaster with a transparent window through which you can watch your bread toast. The Magimix Vision Toaster, £160 (US$257), uses quartz heating elements at the corners of the toaster that "deflect heat evenly across the bread." According to Magimix managing director Simon Kinder, "People wanted to see their toast going brown while it hovered in front of them so they could toast it to perfection. "Now they can do that and make sure it doesn't come out black or burned to a crisp."...Vampire Toast Plush Doll

At Blue Bottle in San Francisco, this dish is called Popeyes. [Photograph: Alaina Browne] Guy Kibbee, an actor and egg dish namesake. An egg fried in the center of a holed-out slice of bread goes by many names. One of them, Guy Kibbee eggs, originated because an actor named Guy Kibbee made them in the 1935 film Mary Jane's Pa. Peter Cherches of the blog Word of Mouth investigated the origins, curious where his mom got the nickname. Cherches is a fan of the fancypants version at Brix, a French bistro in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where it's served on a thick piece of challah with asparagus, parmigiano, and truffle oil.

[Flickr: The Treacys] Over on The Atlantic Food Channel, food policy writer Marion Nestle discusses the dangers of charred toast. Canada recently added acrylamide, the carcinogen that forms on burnt toast, to its list of toxic substances and the European Union is calling it a hazardous chemical "of high concern." But then you have Dutch reports saying there are no real links between acrylamide and cancer. So maybe burnt toast isn't as bad as swallowing a cigarette but just to be safe, you should probably aim for golden to golden-brown on the toast color spectrum.
