Pączki at Dinkel's Bakery
Price: $ 2.09
Address: 3329 N Lincoln Ave, Lake View
What, Chicago’s top breakfast recommendation is actually a Polish-style doughnut?
As the largest gathering of Polish immigrants in the United States, Polish cuisine has long been integrated into the daily lives of the people of Windy City.
This bakery is best known for its pillow-shaped doughnut-Pączki.It is packed with a variety of fillings, from strawberry lemon to Boston cream, the appearance and taste are absolutely outstanding!The store also offers a variety of sandwiches, custom-made biscuit cakes, no wonder it has been so popular for more than a hundred years!

Bagel and Lox at Kaufman's Bagel & Delicatessen
Price: $ 11
Address: 4905 W Dempster St. Skokie
Speaking of the famous bagel, everyone's response must be "hard" and "fee cheeks"!
I have to say that before eating kaufman's bagels, the editor also had a deep misunderstanding of bagels.However, this goose store will definitely break your stereotype of bagel.
Don’t underestimate this modernly decorated deli. When you walk into the store, you will find a dazzling array of traditional kosher food as if you are in a foreign country! I heard that it was Eastern European immigrants who brought bagel to the United States. At the beginning, bagel was just a kind of circle. The round bread is made into a hollow shape for the convenience of carrying.
Order a freshly baked bagel, coated with thick cream cheese, and paired with the store's special smoked salmon and signature egg salad, and you will feel great satisfaction in your mouth when you bite it down!
Apple Fritter at Old Fashioned Donuts
Price: $ 4
Address: 11248 S. Michigan Ave., Roseland
This long-established donut shop opened in 1972. It is said that when it first opened, there was no apple fritter on the menu. Unexpectedly, in the course of decades of development of this store, apple fritter has become the most popular. The welcoming items are the pride of the whole neighborhood.

Uncle Mike is a Filipino-style restaurant specializing in breakfast.In addition to traditional American sandwiches, omelettes, omelets, and pancakes, the owner also provides silog breakfast sets, which sounds very Asian.
The set includes a lugaw (chicken porridge), a large bowl of fried rice (sinangag), a fried egg, and you can also choose a meat from luncheon meat, roast pork, sweet sausage, skirt steak and fried fish. Is it economical and affordable?After this set, even lunch is saved.
Finally, the store will give a bowl of chocolate porridge as dessert, full of sincerity, which means it sounds a bit dark.

Many people may roll their eyes when they see roast chicken. Is such an old-fashioned dish worth recommending? Isn't Costco's five yuan roast chicken fragrant?
Then you are so wrong.This Greek restaurant has been selling grilled chicken for half a century. For the price of a glass of red wine in the surrounding restaurants, you can order half a grilled chicken. Is it suitable for a person and a delicate girl with a small appetite?Their grilled chicken skin is crispy and juicy, with thick Greek fries soaked in olive oil, red wine sauce, oregano, and lemon juice.
