The Restaurant: The Blue Plate
(you may remember it from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives if you are a Food Network junkie like I am)
The Mission: Find the best Eggs Benedict in Salt Lake City
So we began by perusing the menu. They had 5 types of eggs benedict, plus a benedict omelet (yay for me!) and a special. They also were really good about sustitutions and add-ins, making the possibilities endless.
Bud chose the traditional - poached egg, canadian bacon, and a grilled tomato slice on an english muffin smothered in hollandaise sauce. Home fries served on the side.
M chose the greek and modified it a little - poached egg, spinach, tomatoes, avocado* and feta on an english muffin smothered in hollandaise sauce, again with home fries on the side.
*On the menu it was mushrooms instead of the avocado
I went with the benedict omelet - a bacon and cheese omelet, smothered again in hollandaise sauce. I did add some broccoli, to make sure my arteries didn't close on the spot.
The service was good, although a little slow. The atmosphere was excellent, great pop art on the walls, a jukebox in the corner playing great tunes. The coffee, not bad, but not Ria's either.
The verdict:
hmm... M's not too sure, although his plate is clean
And Bud gives The Blue Pate a 40/50...not too shabby!After that Bud and I went back to his place, watched a little football (or napped), and then went on a hike to enjoy the beginning of the color change.
It was a great way to spend a Saturday!

So jealous! It is really unfair fo ryou to post all the fun things your doing with E just to rub it in to the sibling who isn't there! BTW, what did C get?
It was a great trip, what can I say?? C got to work instead of coming and playing with us. But, we did get to catch up with her Friday and Saturday night and she joined in the fun on Thursday when we went to dinner with the W clan.
