Once I find something I like a lot and I kind of know how it's put together, I can properly judge it.
Some people judge a place on their margaritas or something. I judge a restaurant on it's Reubens. Bread, corned beef, all the fixings. If it's not good then you didn't try very hard.
I now have promoted myself to judging a restaurant on eggs benedict.
For this, I blame Elan, because before he made it for me in my own little kitchen I'd never had it before. It was amazing. Flavors happened! Yum. He's great, that kid.
The first place I ordered it was at Leenie's Cafe. It was pretty perfect. Sauce was flavorful & the ham was very good. I also recommend their rice pudding, (Vera's Breakfast Pudding) warm with fruit. It's very comforting on a gloomy day.
The second try was at the Longmont Egg & I. It was the Hiker's Benedict. It had diced ham, tomatoes, asparagus. It sounded nice.
It was edible. But it wasn't good. The english muffins weren't quite toasty enough, it wasn't hot enough, and it was blah. Bacon was good. Potatoes were good. And they give you coffee in a pot so you don't have to wait for them to bring it to you. I dig that.
I will continue to try them and see if I can find an acceptable substitute for Chef Elan.
I will keep you updated. I know you want to know.
