My roomate got home and started vomiting. It looks like food poisoning, though he has not called a doctor. He had Eggs Benedict at Soundbites in Ball Sq for lunch. Any other cases of food poisoning there? We like the place, but obviously we'll stay away for a while.

The egg yolks are cooked in hollandaise, though it takes a careful cook to heat them high enough to kill salmonella (150°F) but not so high as to set. Straight egg yolks at this temperature will set, but when they're mixed with lemon juice, as in hollandaise, the setting temperature goes up a lot. The acid from the lemon juice also means that you can keep hollandaise at its holding temperature (about 110°F) without growing nasties in it.

But I'd be surprised (and impressed) if they're making real hollandaise—it's a lot of work and not easy to keep for hours.
