Thrillist – Marmalade – Chicago, IL
From a dude who grew up working in assorted uncles’ restaurants — including Le Sabre, which formerly inhabited the same space — Marmalade’s a sunny corner breakfastery with orange- & cranberry-colored walls, and an open kitchen manned by the former chef at m. henry, but not Oh Henry!, because that Sue Ellen Mischke is rich enough as it is. Specialties include French toast, made from housebaked brioche and stuffed with strawberry marmalade, raspberry coulis, and creme anglaise; granola-topped hotcakes layered with warm mango, sour cherries, and housemade mascarpone; and the chorizo/ black bean/ sharp cheddar-stuffed Mayan omelet, which is predicted to be gone by 2012. On Sundays they roll out an expanded brunch menu touting Napoleons (layers of puff pastry, avocado, cucumber & tomato topped w/ poached eggs and Hollandaise), fruit-covered cinnamon bread pudding with vanilla creme, and a walnut pesto-slathered Benedict served on herb-roasted tomato flatbread and aided by grilled asparagus and shaved prosciutto, which naively thinks grooming will make it any less of a pig.
