The hollandaise-crowned breakfast that Carmel adopted as a competitive sport, with one Mission Street diner listing more than twenty variations.
Eggs Benedict is a New York invention of the late 19th century, but Carmel gave it a second home. Katy's Place opened on Mission Street in 1982 and built its reputation on the dish, styling itself the Capital of Eggs Benedict and keeping more than twenty versions on the menu at once, building outward from the classic. In a village that eats breakfast early and seriously, the Benedict became the standing order.
