Here’s the story… Remember Benedict Arnold? He was that American general-turned British general back in the 1700s (aka, traitor!). Well, we never read this in our limited history books in grade school, but while he was still on the American side he had a cooking duel with a guy named Eglen Florentine.

Well, I always think of Benedict Arnold when I make Eggs Benedict! Don’t you?
Seriously I haven’t a clue how these breakfasts got their names, but I do know their differences now.
