AI Slop at Golden Nugget Pancake House

Yet another business using AI Slop for pictures of their food. Was walking around in Ravenswood looking for something to eat, and was considering eating at this place and looking at their menu. Then I saw their door showing the pumpkin pancakes and waffles, and was immediately turned off. I mean what kind of pancake even has those sort of weird details and patterns? The AI does not make anything look good, and would rather then give me bad looking real photos than this AI Slop. The cycle continues I guess

Brunch with large portions?

I recently went begrudgingly to a twee instagram-y brunch spot near Lincoln Park which (as expected) cost a lot and I left hungry. The toast with my breakfast platter was better described as bread sticks than slices. Never again. Does anyone have any recommendations for diners/ brunch places where you don’t feel like you’re being scammed?

Thank you for recommending Budacki’s

Their Korean cheese steak is absolute fire!! They really loaded that thing up. Not to mention the meat is perfectly marinated and is tender and juicy

Edit: And their spicy garlic sauce—I think—is AMAZING!!

Don’t sleep on the 78 Special at L&M

Title says it all. I haven’t seen this breakfast sammy mentioned in the sub so much, but boy is it good.

Fried egg, cheddar, bacon, hashbrown, and the star of the show… Thai chili jam for that sweet n spicy affair.

The biscuits are pretty good here too and make for solid custom sandwiches.

Needless to say, I love L&M.

Finally tried Primo Chuki’s. Solid.

Long-time El Asadero stan here. Rumor on these here Internet streets is that Chuki’s carne asada gives El Asadero a run for their money. I respectfully disagree! However, it was quite good. I also enjoyed the al pastor, and the carnitas were fantastic.
