Lincoln Park’s Best Restaurants | Eater Chicago
"Frances has a long legacy on Clark Street as a Jewish deli with fabulous sandwiches. A few years ago, after a sale, the new owners brought in Derek Rylon, a chef who made a name for himself at another Lincoln Park restaurant, Batter & Berries. While Frances continues to serve deli sandwiches, there’s now an emphasis on brunch. Rylon’s kitchen specializes in French toast and waffle flights with homemade syrups and toppings: a cinnamon roll waffle features bits of bacon and maple. Frances now has one of the best brunches in the city, demonstrating how a neighborhood icon can find a way to adapt and endure. Expect long weekend lines." - Ashok Selvam
