One of the first places I ever ate in Chicago was at Clarkes on Belmont near to the Belmont El Stop (read more here). I had come up here looking for an apartment and there was an agency just along the road that I had spotted when checking out the area. That place was great…

Eggsperience the breakfast in River North
Eggsperience was one of the first places that I ever had breakfast at in Chicago. I was staying in a hotel just near to the Grand El stop on the Red line while I looked for my first apartment in the City. Over the years I came back here pretty often, sometimes sitting up at the…
Yolk in Streeterville – Two Eggs and Meat option so that will be erm….Bacon
I have walked past this particular branch of Yolk located at 355 E. Ohio Street on the corner of Grand & McClurg in Streeterville on many occasion on my way back and forth towards Navy Pier but until this day I had never walked in. I had been to one of their other sites…
Sam and George’s Resturant on North Lincoln – Excellent Breakfast and More
The S&G Resturant or Sam & George’s Resturant is on North Lincoln in Lakeview on the corner of Wellington and has been on the corner serving up breakfast and diner fare for over 50 years since 1957. They are open 7 days a week, which is great for us, but must be tiring for them. The tagline on…
Southport Grocery and Cafe – Slighty fancier than your average breakfast spot
The Southport Grocery and Café is unsurprisingly on Southport Avenue and is about 10 minutes walk away from the Southport Brown line El Stop. It always seems to be very popular on the weekend, with the breakfast and brunch crowd. I have walked past many a time and not been able to spot a free table,…
IHOP early morning breakfast desperation
Some days missing the train can be a blessing and some days a pain, but on this occasion with the sun shining in the brisk cool air I was happy enough and spotted a IHOP sign in the distance and thought…why not? It is not really somewhere that I would ever have planned to go…
“City Farms” for a quality brunch and breakfast
City Farms Grill is a small cafe that is almost easy to miss, in fact I have walked past several times and thought oh yes I haven’t been there yet, but then forget as it is not on my beaten track. This is a shame as it is a really nice friendly little place to get…
Jeri’s Grill – Old School Diner, “Perched on my stool eating Perch”
I have been to Jeri’s Grill in the day for breakfast, brunch and lunch having the typical diner fare of eggs, bacon, and sausage. Each time I have seen that it was open 24 hours and so tonight when I got the munchies I thought I would stroll over there to see what was on the menu…
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…
Marmalade – Great breakfast and brunch
Marmalade is a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot on the corner of Montrose and Damen, about 5 mins walk west of the Montrose brown line at 1969 W. Montrose Ave. The 50 and 78 buses stop right outside too. The owner Gus is very welcoming and you can often see him out an about in…
