Chicago: Ravenswood
4943 N. Damen
Chicago, IL 60625
(773) 506-2605
This small -- seating for 36 -- but cute Ravenswood storefront features exposed brick with bright, perky hues and cutesy faux
egg accents. Chef-owner Jon Cignarale, who clocked time in the kitchens at M.Henry, Tweet and Karyn's Cooked (among others),
has created a menu full of inspired takes of breakfast faves like banana-spiked French toast, upside down apple pancakes and
"frazzled " eggs with bologna (yes, bologna) with herbs and a spicy maple mustard. Lunch moves into salads and burgers, plus
sandwiches like the Vietnamese pate sandwich and muffalatta. The Sunday brunch menu changes weekly; look for options like
chocolate raspberry French toast and lemon poppy seed pancakes.
