I have to add the OG Feast on North Avenue. And then of course when it moved to Damen. I credit Debbie for teaching me how to eat like an adult — and brunch like one too.

I only ever eat in Chicago when I'm visiting you, so I haven't been to many of these. I loved Myron & Phil's and wish more restaurants would give me a relish tray! You know I love Del Rio in the burbs. Some of the best classics in my hometown are Boulevard, Delfina (but only with you), Thanh Long, Kokkari, Tadich Grill and Zazie for brunch.

I am so happy to see Avec on your list. It will always have my heart (and stomach). I miss Myron and Phill’s. The chopped liver cart....mmmmmmm.
