A love letter to poached eggs – brunch at Zaftig’s Delicatessen
I'm a sucker for poached eggs. Piercing the yolks with your knife. Sliding down the plate like the ooze of a lazy, ruptured sun. Top it with even more yolk in the form of Hollandaise, slide a velvety slice of smoked salmon underneath. Cut, and at the bottom is a fried potato pancake. A bit of green from spinach leaves, a side of good hash browns, prettified by a round of pale orange cantaloupe. [...]
The most important meal of the day
One of the nicest breakfasts I've had recently. Note the robin egg's blue cup of espresso.
