As mentioned in my Fall Preview post (http://eatingchicago.blogspot.com/2011/09/fall-preview.html ) 2 Sparrows opened with a bang this Fall and has been dishing out seasonally driven breakfast, brunch and lunch ever since. They have certainly reached their goal of creating a “more elevated approach to the most important meals of the day in terms of quality, seasonality, service and price point.” And by adding handcrafted cocktails to the menu, they have created a winning combo!
We started with the maple and bacon doughnuts. Traditionally, they are made as full doughnuts but on this day, the chef decided to make doughnut holes. The saltiness of the bacon paired well with the sweetness of the glaze on top. Totally indulgent. Totally worth the splurge.
Amanda and I decided to split the Belly sandwich and an order of the seasonal couscous. The freshly made biscuit sandwich had pork belly, a sunny side egg and pickled onions (with giant tots on the side!) Since we split this, chef was so kind to make a smaller version for each of us so it didn't need to be cut in half. How thoughtful! And the home made ketchup?? It needs to be bottled up and sold. I'd buy it by the case! The seasonal couscous with roasted butternut squash, portabellos and brown butter was sooo good. I could eat it every day!
I didn't have room for everything on the menu, but what I did have was fresh and tasty. That only means I will have to come back for more! Perhaps the foie gras pop tarts next time...!
