    New Yorkers love brunch -- so much so that they'll wait in line for hours to participate in this weekend ritual. I too love brunch, but I'm a little less patient when it comes to waiting for my first meal of the day. You can imagine my relief to discover that there was no such line at the newly opened Bistrouge in the East Village. Usually, when there's no wait, it means the place is no good. But to my surprise, the food was not only good, it was really exceptional. I had the French Toast with Sautéed Fruits in Cognac Sauce and it was unbelievably delicious! The French toast, a thick slice of well-made brioche, came generously bathed in a warm Cognac spiked créme anglaise warmed with ripe berries and sweet peaches. Perfection. I just hope I get to enjoy this lovely brunch spot a few more times before the word gets out and the lines start to form around the block.
