Sox Shuffle Continues
A couple weeks back an old friend of ours was in town from Hong Kong and one of her main agendas was to eat at as many places as she could, not being a fan of the culinary delights in Hong Kong. Over a brunch at Meli we brought up the subject of Polo Café's "Eggs Benedicto XVI" brunch dish.
Both our friend and a friend of hers said, "We have to go." So we made plans for the following weekend.
The selling point behind behind this dish isn't the three eggs smothered in St. Basil hollandaise, served with a fruit cup, breakfast potatoes and a split bratwurst. It's the framed 8" x 10" photo of Pope Benedict XVI and candle that comes alongside the dish. We've had it before, and it's too filling for us, although the taste did win raves from our friends. But that photo just creeps us out. We imagined the former Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger's eyes following us as we scarfed down our chilaquiles, passing judgment on us for not ordering His dish.
Polo Café is located at 3322 S. Morgan. The Eggs Benedicto XVI are available as part of their Saturday Bloody Mary Brunch from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Ahhhhhh the Evil, Pope and Darth Vader's Boss!
I think that I see the holy light of the LORD emanating from within him.
Oh, wait, I think that's just the flash.
The chinese don't eat stuff like this.
Nom nom nom!
Do you think the Holy Name Six will be stopping there for brunch any time soon?
Personally I've been wanting to bring a group of Hebrews to Polo to munch on this.

And good luck with that. We know what is in Bratwurst, Chuck. BTW, how would you like a nice, plump kishke to munch on?
It should be noted that the last time I checked the Polo Cafe is NOT open for brunch on Sunday. Just Saturday.
igo: read and you'll see that we never mentioned Sunday brunch.
I've never been, but from what I heard (friends there for business, reviews on gridskipper.com, Anthony Bourdain) if you don't like the food in Hong Kong, you don't like food period.
Maybe, but if you've ever heard Anthony Bourdain talk (he showed up at Borders a few years ago), you know that the man definitely isn't squeamish. What he's OK with and what somebody else is OK with might not be at all the same thing.
