Best Eggs Benedict?

[DisGirl819]

Where in WDW can we find the best eggs benedict? I read somewhere about some lobster eggs benedict. DH loves this dish and would love having something like that while in WDW.

Grand Floridian Cafe! The lobster eggs benedict is absolutely to die for. They also have regular eggs benedict and crab cake eggs benedict at Captain's Grille at Yacht Club and there's a very tasty shrimp and conch eggs benedict at Olivia's at Old Key West. Can you tell I like eggs benedict???

I hate to say it, but I'm leery of anything with Hollandaise sauce at a restaurant. As Anthony Bourdain puts it:

While we're on brunch, how about hollandaise sauce? Not for me. Bacteria love hollandaise. And hollandaise, that delicate emulsion of egg yolks and clarified butter, must be held at a temperature not too hot nor too cold, lest it break when spooned over your poached eggs. Unfortunately, this lukewarm holding temperature is also the favorite environment for bacteria to reproduce in. Nobody I know has ever made hollandaise to order. Most likely, the stuff on your eggs was made hours ago and held on station.

Good point...

LOL I had to laugh at this because some friends and I made Eggs Benedict and to-order Hollandaise sauce in a campground a few years ago for 125 people...

hollandaise sauce is constantly monitored to make sure that it is in a maintained in the proper heat setting at WDW

I had some really good eggs benedict at the Beach Club, room service. I wish you could get this everywhere for breakfast!

We've eaten numerous eggs benedict dishes on vacations, including at buffets at the Four Seasons, Westin, etc. Never had a problem, but now I think I'll be imagining the bacteria swimming in my hollandaise sauce.

And thank you for the suggestions on where to get a good eggs benedict! My DH will definitely thank you!

I am an eggs benedict lover and order it wherever it is on the menu and I have never been ill from it.

The Grand Floridian makes a fantastic one and Capts Grill with prosciutto instead of the canadian bacon...oh man that one was insane!!!

I used to get them at the Concourse Steakhouse which is closed. So now I get them at Grand Floridian Cafe. I get the classic ones, not the wierd varieties.

I don't know much about what makes good eggs benedict.... but the 1900 Park Fare breakfast buffet had lobster eggs benedict and it tasted delicious to me.

Grand Floridian Cafe. Lobster eggs benedict are delish!

 

[k&a&c'smom]

We LOVE the lobster eggs Benedict at GF Cafe, and as someone pointed out, it is also available on the buffet at 1900 Park Fare.

I have to second the poster who mentioned the crab cake eggs Benedict at Captain's Grille - really good!

And, as so many have said, we eat EB wherever we go on vacation. Never had a single problem. I find it kind of odd that Anthony Bourdain is making an issue of Hollandaise, with all the nasty stuff he's always eating on his travel show.

The Grand Floridian has good eggs benedict, not what I consider awesome but good. However, contrary to most of the posters, I found their lobster eggs benedict quite disapointing and would not get them again.

It's called the Samoan and its AWESOME. After tasting it when my mom ordered it in December, I ordered it this trip instead of the Tonga Toast.

The Samoan is kinda light on the hollandaise which is the way I prefer it - pork hash with two poached eggs on top and some greens - very tasty and different from your standard breakfast fare.

As an Eggs Benedict purist, that is not Eggs Benedict. It's poached eggs on hash.

And true Eggs Benedict is served on rusk toast instead of English Muffins. You seldom get rusk, except maybe at Brennans in New Orleans.

We had the lobster eggs benedict at 1900 Park Fare, it was very good.My Dh loves benedict so this was right up his alley. Being a buffet this place is a good choice.
He also had the one from Whispering Canyon ( brisket) but he liked the lobster one better.

I love the eggs benedict at The Wave.

I find it kind of odd that Anthony Bourdain is making an issue of Hollandaise, with all the nasty stuff he's always eating on his travel show.

It was part of a larger discussion of the things people don't know about restaurants in his first book, Kitchen Confidential, which I recommend with no reservations (heh. I made a funny.) He also talks about not ordering fish on Monday, since you're getting the stuff that's been sitting in the cooler for a full weekend. The "special" at a restaurant is usually a creative way to get rid of food that's about to expire, according to him. I witnessed it when I worked in restaurants, so I know that part to be true.

While we're on brunch, how about hollandaise sauce? Not for me. Bacteria love hollandaise. And hollandaise, that delicate emulsion of egg yolks and clarified butter, must be held at a temperature not too hot nor too cold, lest it break when spooned over your poached eggs. Unfortunately, this lukewarm holding temperature is also the favorite environment for bacteria to copulate and reproduce in. Nobody I know has ever made hollandaise to order. Most likely, the stuff on your eggs was made hours ago and held on station. Equally disturbing is the likelihood that the butter used in the hollandaise is melted table butter, heated, clarified, and strained to get out all the bread crumbs and cigarette butts. Butter is expensive, you know. Hollandaise is a veritable petri dish of biohazards. And how long has that Canadian bacon been aging in the walk-in anyway? Remember, brunch is served only once a week -- on the weekends. Buzzword here, "Brunch Menu." Translation? "Old, nasty odds and ends, and twelve dollars for two eggs with a free bloody Mary!"
