Organic Brunch Spot

Na-na-na-na...Na-na-na-na

10.26.2009

The Bite:
Hey, hey, hey...say goodbye to your same-old breakfast spot and hello to Nana. This new Bridgeport eatery serves up American-Latin dishes such as Baked Chilaquiles (roasted poblano sauce over eggs, cheese, and tortilla strips) and vanilla Corn-Oat Waffles - all made with organic ingredients like Goodness Greenness produce and Red Hen Bread. It's got lunch, too, with stuff like WI's Good Earth Farms' grass-fed beef burger and thick, hand-cut fries. Also worthy of cheering: Nana's planning a composting program and a rooftop garden for sometime next year.
Why Care?: 
Organic = fewer pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides in the air, soil, water, and in our bodies.
We sipped a cuppa organic Metropolis coffee, and checked out the exposed brick walls and reclaimed-wood countertops, while waiting for our hearty-but-fluffy, buckwheat and banana pancakes.
Wanna Try: 
Nana, 3267 S. Halsted St. (312-929-2486). Brunch dishes, $7-$14.

Cocktail Fact

Every year since 1986, the city of Springfield, MA, has hosted the World's Largest Pancake Breakfast, using 3,450 pounds of buttermilk flour and 800 pounds of eggs to make 100 5-gallon buckets of batter.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters eat organic pancakes instead of nonorganic ones, we'll keep the weight of eight yogis in foods produced with toxic chemicals out of our bellies.
