Avocado Toast became a huge food trend of the 2010s. It was criticized as a symbol of frivolous spending. For instance at the Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel in New York:
Avocado Toast $24.00
Fresh Avocado, Aged Balsamic de Modena, Espelette, Radish, Whole Wheat Toast
If you want to add Two Poached Organic Eggs it's an extra $16.00
Whether it's sliced, smashed or spread Avocado Toast feels rather luxurious and costs WAY less if you make it at home!
