Tweet

I treated myself to a birthday breakfast at Tweet and ordered a Biscuits and Gravy special (I think it was called the Country Eggs Benedict), which was a split biscuit with sausage, fried eggs, and sausage gravy on top. Yeah, it’s a heart attack on a plate, but my birthday only comes once a year! The food was excellent—probably the best biscuits and gravy I’ve had since I’ve been in Chicago. The biscuits had a great flavor and were fluffy—not dense or greasy. The sausage was organic and also full of flavor. The hash browns were hot and crispy; the only thing missing was a bit of melted cheddar cheese on top (hey, why not?). The addition of tomato and orange slices on the side made the meal feel slightly healthier.

The staff was great as well. My server was really nice (even struck up a conversation with me) and my coffee cup was always kept full. If I hadn’t had other things to do that day, I would have hung out a lot longer. Tweet has a great atmosphere—very “homey” and bright—and I’m sure it’s even better when the weather is warmer and there is outdoor seating.

If this place were closer to where I live, I’d be in trouble. This is the type of place I could see myself coming to once a week. The menu is huge, so it can please the palette of any brunch-lover. Perhaps I can justify coming here more often if I actually walk from my place to burn off some calories beforehand!
