"You took the day off to spend time with a friend visiting Chicago, and she wants to get away from The Bean and check out another neighborhood. Go to Southport Market in Lakeview. It’s a fantastic brunch place, but it also has great sandwiches, like the club that’s made on house-baked challah. Let’s get real, though—you really just came here as an excuse to eat the bread pudding pancakes, which are officially considered lunch after 12pm." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
