Just about every weekend in May perhaps they’re featuring a blueberry buttermilk pancake bagel with lemon ricotta maple product cheese. OMG Certainly.
- Steingold’s Basic Lox: we switched it up from eggs to share the wonderful signature lox sandwich. It is piled large with house treated Skuna Bay lox, cream cheese, purple onion, tomato, capers and pickled cucumbers on your selection of bagel. We went with the every thing bagel and chive cream cheese and the flavors were *chef’s kiss*. They definitely do not skimp on the lox and the fresh new veggies increase the excellent balance. If you are a admirer of lox, this sandwich is a must check out in Chicago!
Smack Dab
We’re heading up north to Roger’s Park to find the coveted Smack Dab cafe.

On the very first Wednesday of each and every thirty day period, they serve up a absolutely free local community evening meal with vegan & gluten free alternatives for any one in the neighborhood who needs/requires one particular.

Pair this sandwich with a scrumptious espresso consume like the “Spring in Blue-m Latte,” which has wonderful blueberry sage syrup, and even a selfmade cake donut (rotating, enjoyment flavors!)

It has a large hash brown patty, bacon, pickled purple onion, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, a sunnyside up egg, ‘nduja aioli and ‘nduja warm sauce on a butter brioche bun. WHOA. This little one is far more of a knife-and-fork sandwich and we’re not mad about it. Get some further napkins completely ready and pull up a chair on their seasonal patio with this a single!
The Biscuit Person
In case you’re wanting to know if breakfast sandwiches are created even greater on freshly baked biscuits, they are. The Biscuit Guy is counter-assistance fashion positioned inside of the Long Area in Ravenswood — a cozy bar with unique cocktails, coffee & a roomy beer backyard garden. Zeeshan Shah commenced The Biscuit Male back in 2015 soon after working at numerous award-successful restaurants and bars in Chicago.

- BLT + Egg on a Biscuit: this wonderful biscuit sandwich has a cheesy scrambled egg, bacon, spring lettuce, aioli and tomato jam. The tomato jam provides a beautiful sweetness paired with all of the savory goods, and the biscuit is very seriously SO comfortable and tasty. There’s very little even worse than a dry biscuit, and The Biscuit Guy really knocks it out of the park. We suggest splitting this sandwich and their “Basic Biscuit,” which has their signature tomato jam and goat cheese. The combo is unreal.
