Samuel Benedict was a famous playboy around the turn of the century. After a night of partying and drinking, he went into the kitchens at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and made himself breakfast. It consisted of two poached eggs on top of bacon on top of buttered toast with Hollandaise sauce poured over all. The chef was so impressed with the tasty meal that the Waldorf added it to the menu and named if after the inventor: eggs benedict.
