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.

Eggs Benedict · New York City
Eggs Benedict is two poached eggs and a slab of Canadian bacon on a toasted English muffin, draped in warm hollandaise. The classic New York brunch plate, invented in the city in 1894.
Eggs Benedict was created in New York in 1894, when stockbroker Lemuel Benedict, hungover at the Waldorf Hotel, ordered buttered toast, bacon, two poached eggs and a hooker of hollandaise; maitre d' Oscar Tschirky put it on the menu (replacing toast with English muffin and bacon with Canadian bacon). The dish became the brunch-menu canon across the city in the 1940s and 1950s. Today every Manhattan and Brooklyn brunch spot runs a version; Sadelle's in Soho, Five Leaves in Greenpoint and Buvette in the West Village all keep the form (Sadelle's plates a smoked salmon variant alongside the classic).
