The Vancouver Foodster 3rd Eggs Benedict Challenge is currently running August 8 – 31 where participating restaurants have created special eggs benedicts for the challenge. These eggs benedicts are available on the menu during the duration of the challenge.
The public is invited to go out and order any or all of the eggs benedict creations in this challenge, then vote as part of the People’s Choice award.
Share your experiences on social media by tagging @vanfoodster #EggsBenedictChallengeYVR
Some things to help you judge your favourite eggs benedict’s include originality, creativity, uniqueness, traditional, non-traditional, price, value and most importantly taste.
I am currently media judging for the competition. Here are the participating eggs benedicts in this challenge.
