To continue with the Linkfest writeup. With SCMSing around beckoning the Cinetrix, the Cod enlisted former neighbor, longtime friend, and sometime commenter Cookie to scrub in for phase two of Linkfest. But first, The cinetrix and I began the day with the eggs Benedict poboy at Stanley*. Before considering the business at hand, a word or two on Stanley**:
1: Serving a solid breakfast at a quasi-reasonable price smack dab in the middle of the Quarter puts you on the Nobel Peace Prize shortlist.
2: Considering the venue (French Quarter) and the clientele (hungover tourists, the cinetrix and I were gobsmacked by the cheery and efficient service.
3: The eggs Benedict po-boy is ridiculous. It is delicious, but the method of eating a po-boy and poached eggs + hollandaise puts it squarely in the delicious but untenable neighborhood. It's as if the man from Mars, in the process of eating Cadillacs, Subarus, Mercuries, and Lincolns too, had eaten a car with an airbag full of eggy goodness. Eating it goes like this. i) Bite in, cover hand and arm with yolk and hollandaise. ii) Lick hollandaise off self, dipping bread/ham in what landed on the plate. A perfect breakfast, in other words.
*The cinetrix went with eggs Stanley, which ups the Benedict ante with fried oysters.
