"Two Poached Eggs, English Muffin, Canadian Bacon, topped with Hollandaise Sauce served with Hash Brown"

Preface: forgive the less than excellent picture. There was a wardrobe malfunction which resulted in the camera being left behind. Will not be repeated.

The Eggs: Very well done. Just runny enough in the middle, not congealed or lumpy. One of my pet peaves with eggs benedict is when the eggs are so overcooked that they sit on the muffin like a marble on a dinner plate. these were spread out just enough. 9 

The Ham: Unexceptional. Tasty, but nothing special. I'm trying to think of something else to say, but honestly, it was utterly unremarkable, which accounts for the relatively low score i've awarded it in spite of being acceptably tasty. 7

The Hollandaise: Quantity, lamentably, is no replacement for quality. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was bland. 6

The Bread: This is the only component in exceptionality is generally a bad thing. It was an english muffin, which is precisely what i wanted. 9

Total Dish: I wouldn't send it back, but i probably won't be going back either. It was fine, but clearly no a dish they'd invested any real effort into. 

Summary:

+plenty of hollandaise

+well done eggs

-mediocre hollandaise

Score: 26/40
