I went to a restaurant that serves breakfast at any time. So

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the contrast between the present and the past. The speaker imagines going to a restaurant that offers all-day breakfast and playfully states their desire to order French Toast even during the Renaissance era, which is historically inaccurate. It showcases the concept of anachronism and emphasizes the absurdity of mixing elements from different time periods.
