Nine Year Old Breakfasts

In 2011, Chicago Magazine printed the top 75 breakfasts in the Chicagoland area. My nine year old son and I decided to try a few of them out. After each meal, my son started to rate and offer bite-sized reviews of the food he ordered and snapped a few pics along the way. A simple, but satisfying way to spend weekend mornings exploring our city in search of the best chicken waffles, crepes and hot chocolate.

It's a big list and we're far from done, but judging by the size of those marshmallows it's no wonder we chose the following for our first trip:

MINDY'S HOT CHOCOLATE, Chicago

BITE SIZED REVIEW:

  • Best hot chocolate ever with powdered sugar on house made marshmallows

  • Pumpernickel cheddar melt and soup tasted great even for tomato soup haters

  • The warm donuts with house made raspberry jelly were the best. Not enough (6)

  • Noodle pudding tasted too much like regular bread. Not very good actually

RATING: 4 out of 5 stars

POSTSCRIPT PICS

He was up for it, so I asked him to photograph anything he saw that was interesting or had any letters or numbers on it. I told him I'd pay for the coolest ones. He jumped at the chance. So, here are the top six pics that cost this J. Jonah Jameson six, well-deserved bucks:
