Wikipedia has an entry on Eggs Benedict, replete with the origin of the dish, some photos, and variations it. But we are not going to concern ourselves with anything that complicated. We just like to eat.
You're probably wondering "Who is this 'we'?". As you've probably noticed from the picture, we are both racewalkers of the female persuasion. Kelly (on the left) is the Eggs Benedict lover. Tammy (on the right) is the writer.
True confession time. I (Tammy) do not like eggs! However, I do love Hollandaise sauce and I love to eat. And let's face it - Eggs Benedict is all about the sauce. Let me say that again. It's all about the sauce. So, the fact that I don't like eggs doesn't matter. I get to taste and rate the sauce. Kelly gets to eat the Eggs Benedict, savoring every morsel, and rate the entire dish. Together, we are unstoppable (unless we get a DQ from the head judge within 100m of the finish line). Oh, sorry - that was a racewalking joke.
Back to Eggs Benedict. We have a few ground rules: 1) No chain restaurants, because we're a couple of feel-good, knee-jerk liberals that way. 2) Atmosphere is nothing and food is everything. We don't care if you have some hoity-toity white linen and champagne flute ambiance. Just give us your best Eggs Benedict and no one gets
