| - I'm a bonafide eggs Benedict buff, anytime I see it on a menu, I order it. Traditional, vegetarian, spicy, thai fusion, it doesn't matter the style; I love them all. Having said that, it would be easy to assume that I'm hyper critical, fact is, I'm not. I've had decent benny's from all walks of the restaurant world, and enjoyed them immensely. So when I went to Milestone's and saw it on the brunch menu, of course I ordered it.
When my dish arrived it looked pretty typical, eggs nicely poached, not too hard, not too soft, even distribution of the hollandaise, crisp English muffin and a generous slice of back bacon. So I lifted my fork with eager anticipation. That anticipation turned immediately to horror when I took my first bite. All I could taste was vinegar.
Now, I know that adding a dash of vinegar to the boiling water helps with the poaching process, but this tasted like they added a dash of water to the boiling vinegar. Needless to say, this eggs benedict was a real Benedict Arnold.
