Smack Dab Chicago

"Unless you can unhinge your jaw like an anaconda, plan to use a fork and knife when eating the Bestest Seller from Smack Dab. This sandwich is a towering stack of pork sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, and thick cheesy biscuits. There’s plenty of savoriness, but sweet bacon jam and tangy mayo help keep things balanced.

"Located in a small strip mall on Clark, it’s easy to miss this cafe and bakery. But don’t make that mistake because they have great breakfast items. Their sweet baked goods like muffins and cinnamon rolls are delicious, but for something savory, definitely order a biscuit sandwich. Our favorite is the Bestest Seller which comes with sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, herby garlic chive mayo, bacon jam, on buttery cheese biscuits. It works as a grab-and-go spot, but they also have a few seats and tables and a nice shaded outdoor patio." - john ringor, veda kilaru

"The owners of Smack Dab try to make food that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary preferences, and that goes for their vegan mini-doughnuts, made fresh daily. There’s a rotating assortment of glazes and toppings, but cinnamon sugar (“cinny shug”) is always a reliable standby." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"The most wonderful thing about the egg sandwiches at this Rogers Park bakery — described by the owners as “life changing” — is that customers can order them any way they want. Vegan? Sure, have the tofu. Gluten-free? Order it on cornbread. There are nearly 30 bread and topping options, so something is bound to appeal." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"Friendly Rogers Park spot Smack Dab is known for its “life changing” breakfast sandwiches, all made with one egg scrambled in butter. There are seven to choose from, including “the Bestest Seller” (eggs, pork sausage, shredded cheese, bacon jam, chive mayo, cheesy herb biscuit)." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
