For our "Bestaurants" show, chef Curtis Stone visits one of his favorite eateries, Back on the Beach Cafe in Santa Monica, CA. His must-have dishes there are the Grilled Fish Tacos and this bananutella French toast, made with bananas and Nutella. Try it for an over-the-top delicious breakfast, or even dessert. And check out Curtis' spin on the dish, Banana-Hazelnut Croissant Bread Pudding

Pro Tip: To drizzle Nutella onto the French toast like they do at the Back on the Beach, warm it in hot water before or after you put it in a squeeze bottle. 

Here's where you can find the other restaurant-inspired recipes from this show: Rach's Veal Francese and Jeff's Pizza Fundido Dip
