This food holiday celebrates a favorite breakfast dish popularly known as Eggs Benedict, a simple dish of poached egg, English muffin, and Canadian bacon covered in Hollandaise sauce and smothered in mystery. The Manhattan restaurant Delmonico’s claims to be the first to serve eggs Benedict, created by their chef, Charles Ranhofer, for regular patrons Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Benedict. Others claim the dish is named after a Wall Street broker named Lemuel Benedict, the egg gourmand Pope Benedict XII, or even the the American Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold. Whoever it is named after, it must be served with a side of fried potatoes on the side.
