WHAT: Cozy Corner Diner & Pancake
WHEN: 5am-6pm. Early morning, after a rough red-eye flight, or afternoon after a rough hangover.
WHERE: 2294 North Milwaukee Ave. Logan Square, Chicago, IL
WHY: Because you live in WHITELANDIA, home of boutique bistros with names like "SPOON" or "VASE" and the heartiest dish you can order is usually something involving a dainty square of sauteed tofu or half a quail egg cracked onto a sprig of watercress. And you're sick of it. So you fly to the Midwest, walk into the first diner you see and order one of EVERYTHING. Buttermilk pancakes (yes, there are more than one) piled so high that you can't see over the top. Mounds of butter and syrup and ham steaks that literally bring a tear of joy to your eye. And diner coffee. Delicious, non-descript black coffee that is constantly being topped off by friendly waitresses in stained aprons. This is the Midwest.
I give it:
