The name "Eggs Benedict" is believed to have originated from a New York City stockbroker named Lemuel Benedict, who, in the late 19th century, ordered a dish of poached eggs on toast with bacon and hollandaise sauce at the Waldorf Hotel. The chef, Charles Ranhofer, was so taken with the creation that he added it to the menu, naming it after Benedict. Another theory suggests it may have been named after a socialite named Mrs. LeGrand Benedict. Regardless of its exact origins, the dish has become a brunch classic.
