Came across this dope and artery-threatening new food blog, eggs benny files, that follows one man’s quest to locate the best Eggs Benedict in the city. So far, the author — fairly sure it is local DJ Froz1, but hoping to confirm as much soon — has hit up a number of well-loved brunch destinations, including many in Northern Liberties (Honey’s, N. 3rd, Dos Segundos).
While we work on tracking more details on this adventure down, let’s come up with some more destinations for our dude. One of my favorite bennys? Ants Pants, of course, where they smother airy brioche with eggs, spinach, ham and tomato. Leave your pitch in the comments.
Cafe Estelle does the trad benny with ham, as well as renamed modifications like Eggs Jose.
The Belgian Cafe does eggs benny on Belgian Waffles. I mean, really.
Carmen’s Country Kitchen does eggs benny with crazy additions like St. Peter’s fish or pomegranate seeds (or both) sometimes. Plus, there is penis ephemera everywhere. No joke.
You should check out our new brunch as well as our “French” take on eggs benny. Poached eggs, grilled smoked ham, perfect hollandaise sauce over puff pastry squares. Perfect.
The other day Du Jour had eggs benny with skirt steak and bacon drippings in the hollandaise. Did not get to try but sounded awesome.
Thanks for the publicity! Any suggestions for brunch/bennys are appreciated!
The Phillies “P” is the coolest thing about the Egg’s Benny Files. What’s next? The Chicken Sandy Chronicles??
