April 16 calls for the celebration of National Eggs Benedict Day! This day is dedicated to honoring the classic and delectable breakfast dish that has been a culinary delight since the late 1800s. Legend has it that a Wall Street broker named Lemuel Benedict, seeking a remedy for his hangover, visited the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. He requested toast with bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce on top, and thus, "Eggs Benedict" was born.
