Americano breakfast

Eggs, Leek, and Speck
Eggs Benedict

Our Protagonist, having been fairly disappointed thus far with too many of his meals at Americano, gave them one more shot, this time at breakfast.  Sadly, he failed to challenge the kitchen with this breakfast pick; besides the single egg over-easy, the speck merely had to be sliced, as well as the leek.  He had expected something a little more original then merely an egg, a piece of speck, and a slice of leek, but that's what it was.  Out of boredom he glanced over at the Eggs Benedict of his dining partner which had a rather runny-looking hollandaise.   This appeared to be mostly egg yolks and not a lot else, unfortunately, and apparently that's what it tasted like, too.  Our Protagonist hould have ordered a fritatta or something to let them show their abilities a tad more than simply demonstrating their knives were still sharp.  He could have made this at home for much cheaper than what the price was, which is another aggravating point about dining out; even simple dishes need to have their own twist or why eat out at all?  The next visit to Americano will be made kicking-and-screaming, Our Protagonist assures us.
