we always love that. we are especially egg-cited about this. it is national eggs benedict day. grilled cheese last week. now eggs benedict. this is lovely. while we dig into our own eggs benedict, a few things to know about this dish. first, how to make it. split a toasted english muffin in two. put a slice of canadian bacon on each. then a poached egg on top of each of those, and then lather with hollandaise sauce. that is the key. you may not see it too clearly here because it s all covered by hash browns and bacon. and french fries and an orange or something like this. you like eggs benedict. can you smell it? those smell good. legend says it was created for a wall street stock broker named benedict who showed up at the waldorf astoria with a wicked hangover. or that s right. we ve all been there for a regular customer of new york s del monica restaurant, a year earlier, simply because she was bored with her regular breakfast. and her name was mrs. legrand benedict.
