Chocolate Decadence French Toast

Norma’s is a special occasion restaraunt in New York City-not just because of the prices but also because  I don't think anyone could never eat food this rich every day. Introducing the infamous Chocolate decadence French Toast (they charge $23). They make the French Toast with home made yogurt chocolate cake-it is rich but not overwhelming. It is sliced from a loaf and then made like traditional french toast soaked in an egg wash and fried.  It is served as cake topped with a layer of strawberries, then another slice of cake, then strawberries and then cake. The strawberries are cooked in a little bit of butter and brown sugar and some Grand Marnier. The dish is finished off with some pistachios and a dark chocolate sauce (dark chocolate, doesn’t that make this a healthy choice?). They add some home made whipped cream and an orange chip.
I'm off to figure out a homemade version!!! Hey you only live once!
