Best Brunch: Busker’s Crab Cake Benedict

Best Brunch: Busker’s Crab Cake Benedict

Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 in Dining

Sometimes, brunch will make me real “crabby”. And when I say “crabby”, I refer to a personal state in which my taste buds rely solely on crab cakes to function normally. So when a Hoboken resident told me about Buskers‘ brunch and their amazing Crab Cake Benedict, I literally sped walk downtown that Saturday afternoon and inhaled every crumb off my plate. Crab Cake in combination with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce was a dish that these taste buds have never experienced, but I’ll start off my review by telling you this – I was addicted after the first bite.

HOBOKEN GUY’S BREAKDOWN

Egg Sandwich

Restaurant: Buskers Bar and Grill
Name of Dish: Buskers Benedict (choice of Crab Cake or Filet Mignon Medallions) and side of potatoes
Complimentary Drinks: One free beverage – choice of Mimosa or Bloody Mary

You have poached eggs, crab cakes and hollandaise sauce. All ingredients that can be pretty tough to cook and Buskers pulled it off real well. Today, I bow down in respect to the Buskers chefs for the way they’ve treated these precious crab cakes. These thick meaty treats are fried perfectly with a nice golden breadcrumby crisp and have a nice rich, flavorful seasoning. As I slice through this flavor package, I enjoyed watching the gooey yolk from the perfectly-cooked poached egg drench the crab cake and lightly toasted English muffin. Here’s a tip. Forkify the entire dish, getting a slice of that delectable Crab Cake Benedict and top it with those soft, golden-brown potatoes and you got yourself a flavor party in your mouth. Okay, now close your eyes, breathe a little bit and give your taste buds some time to enjoy that parcel of goodness. Mmmm. So good.

THE HG RATINGS

Crab Cake Benedict

Most of the delicious flavor in this dish comes from the crab cake itself, most noticeably from the crab cakes breadcrumbs which provide a combination of herbs and spices that magnify the natural flavors of the crab meat. The hollaindaise sauce had just the right amount of creaminess factor, but I was expecting it to be a little bit more buttery. The yolk of the poached eggs and the perfectly toasted English muffin provided the dish with both more moisture an texture to the dish. And there’s nothing better than delicious side of thick golden-brown potatoes drenched in ketchup!

Crab Cake Benedict

In general, Crab cakes are pretty expensive, but Buskers gives you a generous portion for the price you pay. Usually, most restaurants will serve small cakes, but Buskers serves you enough chunky crab meat to fill up that belly. You get two medium-sized islands of Crab Cake Benedict nestled on top of those nicely toasted English muffins and a sea of golden-brown potatoes. Being the big eater that I am, I can’t say I was as dangerously full as I wanted to be, but I did reach brunchogasm.

Crab Cake Benedict

The presentation was pretty simple but neatly placed. I would have liked to see the chefs add a bit more color to the plate, with a few herbs and spices to top the entire dish or even some fruit garnish.
