Sunday breakfast sometimes ends up being brunch and on occasions like this weekend gets dangerously close to dinner. Wandering along Lincoln Avenue debating whether it was too late to jump on the el to find a new stop and a new eatery I passed by the Golden Angel Resturant and Pancake House for about the…

Fish and Chip hunt leads to the New England Seafood Company
Some days I really crave some good old fish and chips, but sadly it is hard to track down, so I was delighted to find this decent offering near to the Paulina Brown Line stop. The New England Seafood Company sells East Coast Boston type fare, well at least I assume it does as I have…
Chicago Bagel Authority
After much success scoffing a number of steamed bagels at the other CBA location in Armitage, I felt it was time to sample the offerings at the Lakeview location, purely for quality control purposes you understand and also because their bagels are just so moist and tasty. This location is right next to the Belmont CTA…
Breakfast at Glenn’s Diner
Glenn’s Diner is situated in sight of the Montrose Brown CTA el station and really you cannot miss it, both visually and in actual fact you really ‘should not’ miss eating here. Midweek the place opens at 11am and even then there were quite a few in for breakfast. I went for the chive and…
More Marmalade
This place is so good that it was very unlikely that I would not be returning. I was amazed that it took this long. On this occasion it was a rare treat as I had my mother over from the UK and having two great breakfast brunch spots to take her too on my door step…
“Winner Winner Chicken Dinner?” – MO-FO2GO
This is one of those little places that you walk by and miss, but it has one feature that really catches the eye, and that is the wood burning oven that faces the window. Lets face it that is just cheating, once you see it you just know that you will have to go in…
Dinkel’s bakery; How to make a grown man happy 101: Make a train set out of cake!
OK so one should really be excited about the food, but this time out Dinkels bakery came through and had a window display of a cake train set. And you know I really want want now, even more than a Lego train set. Boys with their Toys. Dinkels Bakery just off the Paulina Brown Line,…
Blue Sky Bakery & Cafe – North Center
The Blue Sky Bakery & Cafe is located near to the at 3720 N Lincoln Ave. I happened across it purely by chance, opting for some exercise on my way to Whole Foods I decided to walk between Montrose and Paulina El stations, half way it felt a bit foolish as the temperature was 25F and I was…
Back to the Etno Grill
One of my first blog posts was after a visit to the Etno Grill, when I was advised to return to try one of their burgers. I have since been back twice and have taken that advice, I am just noting that so that you don’t think I scoffed down these two burgers at one visit….
Yolk – Breakfast, Brunch, or Lunch – this place does all
I picked this place for brunch mostly due to its proximity to the Chicago Brown Line el station so that I could add another notch onto the project objective. I know that it is part of a small chain, but we just don’t get places like this in the UK. Maybe we do in London, but…
