I don’t care about anything but the Benedict. I prefer the classic with ham/Canadian bacon. What I really care about is the hollandaise; needs to be rich and powerful. With that having been said, if there is a truly extraordinary variation (i.e. foie gras, lobster, steak, etc), I would certainly entertain the idea. Ideally in Manhattan but will travel for bennie! Thanks! PS: Searched the board and found 1 related thread in ‘The Best’ but didn’t get many/any recommendations.

Best hollandaise sauce- rich but with a lemony kick. Thu Sep 18 14:19:18 -0700 2008 4043660 19455 AimeeD 2 4047865 I second Dressler. Also has the best omelet in town (IMHO) and great ambiance.

Is that correct? Fri Sep 19 15:24:10 -0700 2008 4045271 14984 MizYellowRose 1 4045697 blue ribbon bakery for the classic. Thu Sep 18 17:20:38 -0700 2008 4043660 105642 digsnola
