Best indulgent breakfast Bongo RoomBest indulgent breakfast Whatever it is that makes you desire the splendor of sweet excess as your first meal of the day - be it a 3am breakup, an amorous encounter or hardcore sugar addiction - the Bongo Room provides. Try the brioche French toast, thick slabs of poppy seed- and brown sugar-crusted bread, sitting in a bed of warm peach compote and dried blueberries, and dabbed with a grid of amaretto-vanilla cr'me anglaise. Not quite indulgent enough? How about banana-cashew flapjacks? Raspberry cheesecake hotcakes? Blueberry and yellow-corn pancakes? Lemon ricotta hotcakes? If you still haven't found a morning nirvana, go on the weekends for the Bongo Room's vanguard of decadence: the chocolate tower, a stack of chocolate-crusted French toast made with cocoa bread, stuffed with mascarpone and studded with shaved banana. It is sick. It is bourgeois. It is indulgent. 1470 North Milwaukee, (773)489-0710.
