Sunday Brunchday!

If you live in Chicago you are aware that Chicagoans love their brunch. Especially on Sunday morning. There are people waiting outside as far as the eye can see. #Thesweetest and I don't go out for brunch often, but when we do, we do it right.

Brunch can often be strange. A large meal at 11 o'clock or so, leaves one confused. Do I eat a late dinner? Just an early snack then hit the hay? Despite being thrown off your meal schedule, brunch can be a great way to relax and indulge a bit before the work week.

So you ask, what is my brunch of choice? Longman & Eagle, the hip hotel and restaurant located in Logan Square. They sold me before I ever walked in the place. The sign on the front door reads "Eat, sleep, whiskey" How could you possibly go wrong?

Garrett and I snagged a spot at the bar. The best place to sit if you ask me. You have plain view of the open kitchen and it's just a stone's throw away from the bartender.

Garrett and I started with their special blend of coffee "Darkman & Eagle" which was made in collaboration with Dark Matter Coffee, my absolute favorite coffee in the world. That already makes this place perfect and I haven't even gotten to the food!

I went with the PBR breakfast, sans PBR. I told you this place was hip. This included eggs any style, sausage or bacon and house potatoes. Of course I went scrambled with bacon although, L&E makes their sausage in house, maybe next time. What can I say? I'm a bacon girl. And don't even get me started on those potatoes... perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sprinkled with chives.

Garrett opted for a not-so-brunchy entree. He has recently become obsessed with Cuban sandwiches since watching the movie Chef. So naturally that is what he ordered. Complete with pork belly and
house made zuchinni pickles. Oh and beef fat fries. Don't forget the beef fat fries. Doesn't sound like a bad brunch option huh?

After we...and by we, I mean me... cleared our plates we headed over to the Logan Square Farmers Market to pick up some flowers. The perfect Sunday if you ask me! Hope you all had a great one too!
