While Ardella's is famous for their soups (as I mentioned last month), they make equally prized breakfasts. Omlettes, blueberry pancakes, even biscuits and gravy. A specialty only available on the weekends is eggs benedict, using a spectacular Hollandaise made "lovingly" in-house. Variations include florentine, portobello mushroom, or, as you see here, smoked salmon. I asked for fruit instead of potatoes, and negotiated for extra sauce. Mmmm-mm-mm.

That looks delicious! I'll have to try them out next time I come through the area.
This does look like a good breakfast. I don't think a hollandaise is that difficult to do yourself. I should try one of these days.
Thanks for visiting me in NYC!
does seem heavenly delicious
I must say, "Thanks" for the link on dog and cat deafness. I read it and then bookmarked it for later."
Forgive me for not knowing what "hollandaise" is — looked it up and it sounds simple but apparently it isn't.
Your breakfast looks like one of those that should be taken slowly. I mean you should bite, chew and savor the tastes. It doesn't look like one of those Biscuits and Gravy breakfasts for $1.98.
I was trained to wolf-down my meals. And the United States Army trained me to kill people.
And they gave me drugs every single day with my meals that came in a box called "C-rations."
The meals made me want to kill the cooks, and the drug was nicotine found in the Camels, Lucky Strikes, Chesterfields, and Pall Mall (pronounced Pell Mell) were addictive.
They allowed 30 minutes to "wolf-down" our food and taste it later.
It was often hard to drink scalding coffee out of a steel helmet or pot that you took a bath in that morning.
Your photography skills are really nice to behold and your writing is really nice to read. A nice post.
