Food Style? New Orleans Breakfasts

I've lost track of what day it is but this is a good sign. Stanley's is right by Jackson Square, in the French Quarter where all the other great food places are. It's a busy breakfast and lunch place serving some classic Louisiana favourites as well as traditional brunch foods like benedicts, pancakes and waffles. There's room for one at the bar so I can skip the queue again. There is one dish that has caught my attention...

Crab Cakes and Soft Shell Crab Benedict: Fried soft shell crab and seared crab cakes with poached eggs and creole hollandaise
I can't pass up soft shell crab. It is one of the most delicious things on the planet. This one isn't as crispy as I would have liked, but it's seasoned well and that crab flavour comes through nicely. The eggs are poached perfectly and the yolk seeps through into the crab cakes below. Mmm yum!
