Louis Luangkesorn
comes to mind is Mitchells, by Armitage and Clybourne, which was a good
place for eggs and toast.

Hey, Louis!
My personal favorite place is Ann Sather's on Belmont between the el station
and Clark Street. Huge eggs, lovely chunky hash browns laced with sweet
onions, and cinnamon rolls exactly like my mom's yummy homemade ones!
In Evanston proper (if you're up near campus), Clarke's right on Clark St.
across from the music building serves nice breakfast dishes cheaply all day
long. Le Peep, on the corner of Church and Benson, is also tasty, though
they close at 2 or so in the afternoon.
Anyone else?

Breakfast Club - Hubbard and ? (about 2 blocks west of Ogden).
Excellent French Toast.

I like the original Mitchell's even better- It's on Jackson, in the loop.
About 300 - 400 West or so.
Another great place near Mitchell's on Armitage is (and I forget the name--
be patient -- it's something like "Riverside" or "Lakeside West" or ???)
It's on Cortland (just south of Armitage), on the North side of the street,
just west of the Kennedy.
And then there's "Kitch'n" on Roscoe west of Damen. As it's name implies,
it's Kitch-y. GREAT breakfast; very innovative and imaginative menu.
Weird. Great. Go there. Explore Roscoe Ave. if you haven't been lately.
Much has changed for the better!

Pauline's on Ravenswood (between Clark & Damen) & Summerdale (in West
Andersonville) is great for huge omelets. They are only open until 3pm.

I'd have to agree that Lou Mitchell's (565 W Jackson) is about as good
as it gets for breakfast. Does anyone know what the story is with Lou
Mitchell's and Original Mitchell's? I always assumed LM on Jackson was
the true original and the others (on North, then on Clybourn) were some
sort of ripoffs. I believe Lou Mitchell's, in some form or other, has
been around since the 1920s but never knew the whole history.
For something completely different, there's a great little sandwich shop
in Bridgeport a few blocks north of Comiskey. I only found it recently
(I think it's been open just a couple years) but it has impressed me a
lot. I've never actually been for breakfast (well, at least not in the
morning) but I'll bet one of their egg sandwiches would be a great way
to start the day.
Dino Boy's doesn't look like much from the outside, or inside for that
matter. Just a formica counter with maybe 8 stools, a few small tables,
and some video games. The menu is mostly Italian-American sandwiches and
some daily specials like soups and pasta ("plus whatever Chef Dino gets
a hankering to rustle up"). Everything is cooked by Dino and his father
Fred. I have liked most of what I've tried there but the egg subs are
the real standouts. They serve the often-seen pepper & egg as well as
potato & egg, cauliflower & egg, asparagus & egg, broccoli & egg,
sausage & egg, salami & egg, capicola & egg, and ham & egg. Also some
more elaborate combinations.
The Cousin Pino consists of sauteed green peppers, nicely browned potato
pieces, onions, and slices of Italian sausage all bound together with
egg, lots of egg. It comes in a very large chunk of good Italian bread.
Each is cooked to order and comes steaming hot. It's absolutely huge and
just figuring out how to eat the thing is a bit of a challenge. At $4.50
this is the most expensive thing on the menu and would make a fantastic
and very filling breakfast. The Uncle Shorts, asparagus, eggs, potatoes,
and hot banana peppers, also sounds worth a try.
Dino Boy's dries, roasts, and grinds their own blend of hot peppers and
a sprinkle or two goes nicely with the eggs. In true DB fashion (good
food, no frills) the peppers are served in an old mayo jar with a couple
holes punched in the lid.
Most sandwiches are under $4, standard breakfasts are $2.50-4, and
coffee, untried by me, is 80 cents. I can't imagine too many bigger or
better breakfasts at these prices. The atmosphere is pure blue collar
Bridgeport. Leave your Cubs cap at home.

On Rene's recommendation in chi.eats I tried Dino Boy's for lunch, it
was fantastic. Dino Boy's is everything a sandwich shop should be,
clean, friendly, huge portions and excellent quality.
I ordered the Uncle Shorts with asparagus, egg, potato, hot banana
peppers and added capacolla for an additional dollar that brought the
price up to $5.50. The nice thing about the Uncle Shorts, aside from
its HUGE size, was the fact that although there were quite a few
ingredients in the sandwich each flavor was distinct and was properly
cooked, no undercooked potato and overcooked asparagus. The food at
Dino Boy's is obviously prepared with care by someone who enjoys what
they are doing for a living.
Dino Boy's has daily specials, one of the regulars ordered the special
of sausage, peppers, potato and onion on a plate instead of on french
bread. He was served a portion so large, with the french bread on the
side, that I stuck around just to see if he could finish it, he did.
They also had chili mac that day for $3.50 and tray style pizza, the
sausage special was $4.50.
The very friendly staff at Dino Boy's is in perpetual motion, taking
orders, bringing home made gardiniere to tables, refilling water
glasses and sodas, (they did not charge me for soda refills) and one
person was cleaning an already spotless Dino Boy's the whole time I
was there. There are four star restaurants that could take lessons
from Dino Boy's.
I will be going back to Dino Boy's soon and bringing my appetite with
me, thanks for the recommendation Rene.
Enjoy,

*On Rene's posting he lists the weekly hours as 8am-6pm, this is what
is printed on the menu that I took home also, but the 6pm is crossed
out and 10pm is inked in. Possibly these are summer hours, I would
call if going after 6 to make sure.

How could all you guys forget the Wishbone for breakfast (west Washington
and a new one I haqnv't tried up north somewhere). We've been going there
for breakfast since the original one opened on Grand.
Red eggs (yumm), biscuits and gravy, cheese grits, and a Bloody Mary to
mellow the evening before.

I've never been particularly impressed with Grandma Sally's, Rick. What
do you like there?
Have you tried the Naperville Pancake Cafe at Rickert Drive and 75th St?

Well, it's actually Steve, not Rick. That aside, I'm quite picky about
my scrambles, and I have never had bad ones there. I'm very partial to
corned beef hash, and theirs is good (but not the best I've ever had, I
must admit). The apple and swedish pancakes are very good, as is the
feta and gyros omelette. But most of all, I just like the "feel" of the
place. Their waitresses have those great two-packs-of-Pall-Malls-a-day-
for-30-years voices and call me "sweetie" or "darling" and the place is
run by two very nice brothers of Greek extraction (as a diner *should*
be). And it is quick. I like a breakfast place where I can be in and
out in no more than about 45 minutes. They're happy to refill my coffee
for as long as I want to stay, mind you, but when I want breakfast, I'm
usually *hungry* and they make sure my meal's on the table in no time at
all. (And they don't look all cross-eyed at me when I pour Tabasco all
over my corned beef hash.)

Next time we get there I'll try a scramble or the corned beef hash.
Have you ever tried the Omega's apple pancake? How does it compare to
Grandma Sally's?

Anyhow, my usual choice for breakfast/brunch is Wicker Park/Bucktown:
I've enjoyed brunch at (south to north) the Bongo Room [1470 N
Milwaukee], Soul Kitchen [1576 N Milwaukee], Kaleidoscope [1560 N
Damen], Caffe de Luca (continental, alas) [1721 N Damen], and Toast
[2146 N Damen]. (Well, not the Toast there, which should be open by now,
but at the Toast in River North.)

No, I haven't, but I've been meaning to. Thanks for reminding me! I'll
