"At a new Wicker Park bakery where South Asian and Filipino flavors mingle, breakfast finally feels exciting without pork: they make bacon tocino out of chicken with outstanding results. The breakfast sandwich, perched on a potato bun, is a quality morning meal with a little pep from sweet-and-sour achaar aioli; you can customize it, but the crispy hash brown patty is something I’m keeping. I still need to go back for a dosa, and I’ll probably ask them to add some of that tocino — truly, breakfast with no hog." - Ashok Selvam
