John's Place "Soothing homestyle cuisine since 1994", yes indeed. This restaurant, on the corner of Webster and Racine, has been a Lincoln Park hot spot for years. Although John's Place is a great place for lunch and dinner...they really do brunch best. Pre-gluten free days, I used to order the Breakfast burrito...it was just huge and delicious and everything you wanted after a night out on the town. Since the flour tortilla is now out of the question, I've tried a few things: the John's scramble and the Chilaquiles.
This New Year's day I joined two of my girl friends Erin and Bridget to drink mimosas, gossip about the night before and of course eat. The Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish with scrambled eggs, Chihuahua cheese, pico de gallo, tomatilla salsa, crumbled chicken chorizo served over corn tortilla chips with a side of homestyle potatoes. I completed the indulgence with a side order of sour cream. Bridget and I both ordered it and Erin looked on in envy. No matter how full we were getting, we just couldn't stop eating it.
So, with a full belly and a slight buzz from the mimosas...we were was ready to tackle the cold and the new year.
Clear eyes. Full belly. Can't lose.
