Not only that, but this dish was featured on one of the TV shows that defines Greg's Gourmet: Man Vs. Food; a brilliant program where host Adam Richman goes from city to city to take on these crazy food challenges as well as partake in other delicious gourmet. For this particular episode, Richman came to San Diego to take on this dirty dozen challenge. The video is here. It's 7 minutes and totally worth it:
Notice the close-up boobs shot in the opening 10 seconds. You know the cameraman was planning that one out
Richman has an incredible appetite so I'm not too surprised that he completed the dish. I've considered going for it a few times but what prevents me from doing so are the mushrooms and onions. I greatly dislike onions and mushrooms just creep me out. Why would anyone eat something that has "mush" in the name anyway? Might as well name them gastro-intestinal-parasitic-tract-rooms.
Anyway, onto what I ate:
Eggs Benedict with hash browns
Nothing unique to report here. It's Eggs Benedict, it's good. Not much else to say. Writing this out, however, has made that 12 egg challenge seem more appealing. Might have to reconsider.
Thanks for reading!
