Eggs Benedict and French Toast from Jam

In honor of Casimir Pulaski Day, or rather, in honor of the wife having the day off work due to Casimir Pulaski Day, we decided to have a late breakfast at a local place we've been waiting to try. Jam is that restaurant, and what a place! Their focus is on brunch, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Now, I'm a big fan of the Benedict in general, but this was something special. The eggs were perfectly poached and looked like domes of glistening white savoriness; crisped pork belly replaced the traditional Canadian bacon; and instead of slathering the whole thing with fatty hollandaise, the beet flavored hollandaise was used as a decorative garnish with enough to provide flavor while letting the other components stand out on their own merits.

The wife had the Malted Custard French Toast. This photo really doesn't do it justice. It was magnificent--light, creamy, fluffy, and savory all at once. The menu says it has 'macerated rhubarb, lime leaf cream, and pink peppercorn' as flavoring, but really it was the rhubarb that stood out.

Jam gets a great recommendation from us. Cash-only, but there is an ATM on the premises.
