"A boozy new all-day brunch spot that’s really named Wake ‘N Bacon is slated to open before fall at 420 W. Belmont Avenue, which will give diners and drinkers the option to add CBD to every food and drink item on the menu. Owners Gabriel and Sarah Ayala, who have past experience at Chicago spots Safehouse and Dragonfly among others, plan the space to have “kaleidoscopic hues of pink and blue” and a huge indoor tree, and drink options will include “decadently-garnished” cocktails, according to a news release and the Tribune." - Daniel Gerzina
"Punny CBD breakfast spot Wake ‘N Bacon was originally slated to open this summer, but owners Gabriel and Sarah Ayala have pushed back the launch to November. The couple plan to offer CBD add-ons to every food or drink item." - Naomi Waxman
