Ate eggs benedict 9/23/2011

Where: Steve's Cafe in Helena, MT. Steve's cafe was opend in 4/2009 and was voted as the best breakfast place in Helena this year (2011). The inside is much bigger than it appears from the outside. The feel inside the cafe is very comfortable, homey, spacious, and very clean. The service and food was great.

History of eggs benedict: The Delmonico's is the first public dining place to open in the USA in 1860's. Mrs. LeGrand Benedict was looking for something different for lunch. Mrs. Benedict spoke with the Delmonico's chef, Charles Ranhofer. Presto... eggs benedict was created!

What is egg benedict: Eggs benedict is two English muffin halves toasted with a thin slice of Canadan bacon, poached egg, and topped with Hollandaise sauce. This dish is on of my daughter's favorite. The combination is a contrast in textures and very tasty.

  1. My brother owns a breakfast restaurant, so I have been able to have eggs benedict there. But, the unfortunate part is that I really don't like eggs :(

    Congrats to you for giving it a try :)
