Story behind the recipe:
Allergy girls favorite breakfast is called Bacon Lovers Eggs Benedict and she'd been trying to recreate it for years. She managed to do a version of it a couple years back, but she found out she was allergic to one more key ingredient that made it work and gave up hope after that. She refused to even try because it was so frustrating trying to figure out how to make it work.
One day on her birthday the chef asked her what she wanted and she asked him for eggs benedict with lots of bacon. He tried over and over and over and over... needless to say he was a little more than frustrated with it. After much effort, throwing things, and randomly yelling he finally figured it out. All he went through was worth it, he'd managed to achieve what seemed like the impossible. It tasted just like the real thing. Allergy Girl was in HEAVEN.
His original eggs benedict only had regular bacon and not Canadian bacon, but some people don't like or want all the extra fat and grease so they decide to keep traditional and give the option of the extra heavenly bacon. If you haven't had eggs benedict with bacon before, it's highly recommended. We like Applewood smoked bacon the best.
