Each restaurant featured their Eggs Bemedoct creation from June 15 – July 8, 2017.

Each media judge will have scored the creation with a maximum of 40 points as follows: Overall Taste 20 points, Originality and Uniqueness 10 points, Presentation and Appearance 10 points). The total number of points a eggs benedict creation could earn is 120 points.
