Upon his last deportation, Eduardo came across an opportunity to work with Enrique Olvera as Chef de Cuisine at Pujol restaurant in Mexico City. Today, Lalo and his wife Gabriela own and operate three of the best restaurants in Mexico: Maximo Bistrot Local, Havre 77 and LALO!<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, Garcia\u2019s iconic <em>pan franc\u00e9s<\/em> was introduced at LALO! &#8211; the more casual concept of the group. The first glance, walking into the restaurant, is of bright and colorful walls covered with graffiti by Belgian artist Bue The Warrior and a long communal wooden table filled with locals and foreigners alike.

In fact, a lot of the restaurant\u2019s hype and success is due to the large and thick slice of homemade brioche soaked in a vanilla-milk-egg-sugar mixture, fried in butter until crispy on the outside and topped with fresh whipped cream, mixed berries and blueberry compote. The most important component, what makes it so addictive, is the house-made brioche. Buttery, soft and moist, it took the team at LALO! time to perfect it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19458\" src=\"https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-714x1024.jpg\" alt=\"putting the finishing touches on french toast at pan frances lalo\" width=\"640\" height=\"918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-714x1024.jpg 714w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-768x1101.jpg 768w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-150x215.jpg 150w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3-600x861.jpg 600w, https:\/\/patijinich.com\/pati_2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pan-frances-lalo-3.jpg 1838w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite all the mouth-watering breakfast options there are in Mexico, I make room for <em>pan franc\u00e9s<\/em> at least once a week.
