Chef Michael Simmons and his wife, Val Szafranski, are the tireless team behind this cozy mom-and-pop French cafe and wine bar just blocks from Humboldt Park. Szafranski runs the front of house, which is cheerful and bright for reading the paper while enjoying coffee and the beloved breakfast sandwich. It consists of egg, cheese and any two of nearly three-dozen toppings, ranging from the expected (lox, various smoked fish, bacon, duck confit) to the novel (calf brains, shad roe and fried chicken livers).
