"When Chicago hospitality veterans Sarah Mispagel and Ben Lustbader got married in 2019, they spent their honeymoon talking about the future — a natural conversation after such a momentous event. But the pair weren’t envisioning a white picket fence or a family-friendly mini-van: Instead, they dreamed of a restaurant of their own. That vision will become a reality in August when they unveil Loaf Lounge, a cozy all-day cafe at 2934 N. Milwaukee Avenue where neighbors can while away the hours over with Mispagel’s baked goods and Lustbader’s sandwiches." - Naomi Waxman
