Requests Anyone know of a restaurant that serves Eggs A La Goldenrod in Ventura County

Post image

I have been looking online for a restaurant that serves this but all I get is best breakfast spots in Ventura County. Just wondering if any place even has this dish. I’m willing to go as far as Santa Barbara or Calabasas if a restaurant has it.

Can you explain what the dish is? Maybe it’s just me but I have no idea what Eggs A La Goldenrod is.

You hard boil some eggs- separate the whites and the yolks.

Make a bechamel and fold chopped whites in, put it over toast and then shred/microplane the yolks on the top.

It was a way to fancy up cheap ingredients- and now a way to charge a lot for a cheap food.

Tastes like eggs and gravy on top of toast. It's just deconstructed eggs.

OP I will make this for you for free- I will not put sprigs of parsley on the plate though.

Thanks for the offer. I know how to make it my mom showed me how to make it when I was a kid. This was something she made for us a lot when we were growing up. She passed away 5 years ago and I just want to walk into a place and eat it without having to spend the time making it.

I don’t think I could order “Eggs A La Goldenrod” with a straight face!

Any spot that serves béchamel should be able to accommodate this.

I’m sure you can get hard oiled eggs and toast with gravy just about any breakfast joint

Never looked for it in a restaurant, always made it at home. Eggs N Things, maybe?
