Monthly "Last Meal" Club, September Edition
Friday, September 17, 2010 at 12:20PM On my way to PN on Monday, I stopped for one of my favorite breakfasts: Glo’s smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. This gave me an idea for “Monthly Last Meal Club.” Every month I would go out and have a “last meal” for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I encurage all to take a day and do the same.
I love to eat and as most people that love food have created a list of “last meals.” For this club, I have 12 breakfast, lunch and dinner last meals. For instance, on Monday: Glo’s smoked salmon Eggs Benedict for breakfast, a heaping BBQ chicken sandwich with pasta salad on the side for lunch from Mad Oven BBQ and mushroom risotto for dinner from Cafe Bengodi.
Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch items, though it can be a little intimidating at first glance and gut busting. The hollandaise and poach condition of the egg are the crux. Glo’s does it perfectly though. Perfect poach where the egg jiggles a little with an oozy yolk and a rich Hollandaise (egg yolk, butter and a little lemon). Smoked salmon elevates this Eggs Benedict to “Nomnomnom, drool status,” though not for the faint of heart.
BBQ is great, even if it’s "Plain Jane" chicken. Nuff said. Also, around our office here in Seattle there are five known BBQ places within a three block radius (that I am aware of).
I love risotto despite it just being rice, broth and cheese. I think that is the appeal, simplicity. Risotto has that same buttery, creamy, etherealness that Eggs Benedict does, like edible velvet with a little more texture. One of my goals this year is to make a truffle risotto from scratch and, hopefully, have it be delicious.
Needless to say, I had a light breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day.
On tap for October, the poor man’s last meal: full stack of blueberry pancakes for breakfast at IHOP, 10 piece chicken McNugget meal with BBQ sauce and sweet & sour for lunch and a peanut butter, bacon burger from King’s in Ballard with a can of Hamm’s for dinner.
