My daughter, granddaughter, and I were in Chicago yesterday (October 10). Included in our plans for the day was a visit to The Meatloaf Bakery, located at 2464 N. Clark. If you haven't sampled their wonderful meatloaf cupcakes, you are missing a treat. I bought three different flavors and ate the Loaf-a-Roma when I arrived home. Tastes just like spaghetti and meatballs. It was wonderful. I did not use the extra marinara sauce that was provided. I didn't feel that it was needed.\r
\r
The names for the different flavors are a hoot. Lentil Yentil?? That's for the veggie version.\r
\r
They have a case with cold drinks. One brand is Crayon. Of course, I picked the green lemon/lime. (Those who know me know my passion for Crayola Crayons.) There is also a selection of Coke products and a variety of waters.\r
\r
The store is quite clean, the staff warm and friendly. She had a great idea and I hope enough people take advantage so that she can expand...slow but steady.\r
\r
The prices are a little high, but then we're Hoosiers not used to Chicago pricing. Doesn't matter. The food is worth every penny.\r
\r
If you have the opportunity to visit downtown Chicago, make this small side trip and visit.
Pros: Wide variety of flavors
Cons: Drawbacks...I don't live in Chicago, or in Illinois
