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?

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. Dino Boy's 335 W 31st St Chicago 312-225-2836 Mon-Sat 8am-6pm; Sun 9am-2pm "Special Hours During Sox games"

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. ________________________________________________________________________ David L.

I'm personally more fond of the Mitchell's at Clark & North, but only at 2am after seeing a midnight show at the Village. 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.) - p. Someone wrote: > Curious, what are some good breakfast places around town?

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!
