20150906:
Today my friends and I went to the Bill's Cafe in Willow Glen. While Bill's Cafe has standard breakfast dishes such as pancakes, omelettes, and french toast, there is also a variety of Benedictions (eggs Benedict) to choose from.

Crab Cakes Benedict

After looking through the choices, I decided to order the Mexicali Benedict.

Bill's Famous Mimosa

Overall, I thought the Mexicali Benedict was awesome. In particular, the carnitas tasted amazing. They were extremely moist and extremely flavorful. They might have been the best carnitas I've ever eaten, at least without being outright fatty. I suspect they were moist from having soaked up all the salsa.

Crab Cakes Benedict

In any case, together with the avocado and egg, the dish was superb.

In contrast, my friend Josh's Crab Cakes Benedict was underwhelming. I tasted the crab cake, but simply wasn't amazed.

Mexicali Benedict

Of course, if I remember correctly, I was given half a Crab Cakes Benedict (a fourth of two eggs per dish) as leftovers towards the end of the meal and ate it with much delight.

Banana French Toast

On a different note, my friend Thomas's Banana French Toast with its sliced bananas deliciously reminded me of banana bread. 1:49PM PT Were it not for the Benedictions, I would have surely chosen one of the French toast offerings.

To drink, I initially wanted to have an Irish Coffee (Jameson Irish Whiskey, Coffee, Whipped Cream), but after hearing Josh get a Mexican Coffee, I changed my mind and got a Mexican Coffee as well.

However, more popular than the Mexican Coffee was Bill's Famous Mimosa.
