Delmonico’s says it's the oldest fine-dining restaurant in the United States. It's one of the locations that created staple American dishes such as Baked Alaska, Delmonico steak, and possibly eggs Benedict. Insider’s Taryn Varricchio visited the restaurant to see how the original eggs Benedict was made.

Reagan Pup lmao I go to fine dining places wearing shirts and a t shirt. Surprised I’ve never been banned from going in. I still remember that one time I ate at a fine ding place and the waiter looked at me and my family like, can they even afford one dish. Guy was shocked when we ate over 700 dollars worth of food.

happy sad lmao bruh I wasn’t bragging, if that’s what u mean. 700 dollars for a fancy meal isn’t even considered a lot dude. It’s in the lower spectrum already of an expensive meal. If u think I’m bragging by saying 700 dollars for the bill, then u probably never even been to an expensive restaurant. but I’m just saying that when u dress in regular clothes and go into fancy restaurants most of the times people suck, and start judging u the moment u walk in

@gamer3d147 4 жыл бұрын

happy sad and I was trying to say it doesn’t matter if the customer dresses in normal clothes, there shouldn’t be something against that. They shouldnt be like profiled just like how they dress. It’s comfortable to wear normal clothes.

At the risk of being labeled a troublemaker; it is my understanding that Antoine Alciatore of Antoine's in New Orleans invented Baked Alaska. His restaurant progeny also claim it was so named due to the acquisition of the Alaskan territory from Russia. By the way, those Eggs a la Benedict look beyond wonderful. Thanks for this lovely video.

@TheRealDarrylStrawberry 2 жыл бұрын

im born and raised in NYC and the CRAZIEST thing i notice about Delmonicos are the prices. VERY VERY affordable. 17 bucks for THE eggs benedict, thats how much the crappy cafe near me charges. For a top notch steak joint, you cant go wrong.
