Today is National Eggs Benedict Day (oh the important useless trivia you learn at the MSC )
National Eggs Benedict Day is observed annually on April 16. It is a day set aside to enjoy poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce and Canadian bacon or ham on English muffin halves.
There are two different stories as to how Eggs Benedict came to be.
In 1894 stock broker Lemuel Benedict ordered “buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a side of Hollandaise” at the Waldorf Hotel. They were so impressed with the dish that they put it on the menu substituting ham and English muffins in place of the bacon and toast.
In the early 18th century, Pope Benedict XIII liked an egg dish so much that he requested it time and time again. It is also believed that Pope Benedict XIII had an illness which added to his desire for this particular egg dish, hence the name Eggs Benedict.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Treat yourself to a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict at home or your favorite breakfast restaurant. Use #NationalEggsBenedictDay to post on social media.

Square Mile Public House has an "eggcellent" eggs benedict -- maybe on your next trip to Ringville

Good morning. The Pelicans played another terrible game last night, they have the worst record in the league, they've scored the fewest runs and their pitching staff has allowed the most runs. It's going to be a long season.
I've never had eggs benedict. When I have eggs I have either an omelet, scrambled eggs or an egg salad sandwich.

I'm at Hooters having free wings for my birthday. I haven't been here for about 6 months. The girl behind the bar has waited on me once before. When I sat down she came right over and asked me where I'd been since she hadn't seen me in so long. The HOG still has it.

I was expecting something along the lines of "they have medication for that now."

We have a local Hawaiian themed restaurant that serves a Benedict with lumpmeat crab instead of ham. It’s extremely tasty.
Hmmmm, I haven’t been there in ages. Might have to go there soon.
