Finally, the last major stop of the road trip has been reached! The bustling and crazy city of Chicago ended up being where Cam and I began to wrap up our epic adventure. Having only one night and a partial day, we didn't have much time to take in a lot of food. We did manage to find a cheap breakfast place not far from our hostel. Located on the corner of North Broadway and West Thorndale Avenue (5937 N Broadway), and literally just steps from the Thorndale Metro station, the Little Corner Restaurant caught our eyes the first time that we passed it. Knowing that we weren't going to be making any breakfast at our hostel (which was one of the worst ever), it was a welcomed sight for us.
The morning after we first saw this place, we woke up early and made our way to it. With many cozy booths and a small bar, the vibe that we got was a good one. We were seated and given a menu by one of the many servers that were darting around the floor. We each ordered a coffee ($1.40 each) and began looking at our choices. The menu was much like you would expect from a diner like this, with an extensive selection of breakfasts and lunch/dinners. I was feeling cheap and hungry, so I chose the Pancake Special ($4.45 for two pancakes, two eggs and bacon? Yes please!), while Cam went with a scramble of sorts (I actually can't find it on the menu... weird!). After waiting only a few minutes, both of our plates arrived.
One word: Amazing. Yep, the pictures don't do either of our plates justice. As we dug in, we were met with some very delicious food. The pancakes were cooked just right, the bacon and eggs followed suit, as well. Cam was most impressed by his choice, saying that it was exactly what he was looking for on this morning. It didn't take long for either of us to finish our food and (multiple) coffees. With a bill coming out to just over $10, this was definitely one of the top places that we had hit on our road trip. I'd have to give a solid 3.5 Bacons across the board for Little Corner Restaurant! Good work!
Stay sharp, kids
