holy benedict, batman.

as much as a HATE seafood i LOVE breakfast. if i had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life i would absolutely choose breakfast or brunch. now, with this morning meal obsession comes some majorly discerning tastebuds for eggs benedict.

before i even go out to breakfast with someone, i check the online menu to see if they have a decent benedict selection. by far, my favorite comes from glo's on capitol hill.

the classic eggs benedict comes with a roasted tomato, a perfectly poached egg, and a savory, lemon-y, hollandaise. glo's also deviates from the classic with an eggs californian (avacado and tomato), eggs blackstone (bacon, tomato, and spinach), and a salmon benedict (need not apply to this blog, mister!) each one is absolutely impeccable (i'm pretty sure you fish-lovers will love the salmon).

for those of you who cringe at a butter-based sauce and a runny egg yolk there are many other options for you at glo's. my morning companion, the amazing gb, had another personal favorite in the vegetarian biscuits and gravy. the biscuits are huge and flaky and the gravy is unbelievably flavorful. meat-maniacs won't miss the traditional sausage chunks at all.

service is personal and friendly, and the coffee flows very favorably. on a weekend, you will definitely have to wait, but it will most certainly be worth it! take it from me, order a piece of the ridiculously delicious sour cream coffee cake, chill out, and wait for the best benedict of your life.
