Have you had your Boudreaux this week? The Boudreaux is our house made cajun boudin (the only in the city), hot sauce, scallion, baked egg, provolone & a bagel. A weekly Boudreaux will cure at least 15% of what ails you......just saying. Boudreaux is one of many names with that eaux ending in Southern Louisiana.....like Robicheaux, Babineaux, Thibodeaux, Comeaux, Arceneaux, Breaux, Desormeaux, Meaux, Primeaux, Simoneaux. Can you name some other eaux ending names?

Its patio time!! Many thanks as always to for letting us use the space in front of their restaurant for patio season. Over the years city infrastructure has bit by bit chipped away any ability for us to have our own patio in front of Spoken Cafe, but this will do just fine plus we get a big ole Ginko tree for shade right in the middle of the patio!!

American restaurants are known for their delicious and hearty breakfast and brunch options, and Spoken Cafe on W Montrose Avenue in Chicago is no exception. This premier cafe in the heart of Ravenswood offers a unique twist to traditional American fare by incorporating Acadian Caju flavors into their dishes.
One of the standout items on their menu is Sido's Summer Salmon, which is an adapted meal from Sido & Will's weekly meals at home. This dish features steamed salmon packets with Atlantic Salmon, julienned carrots, shallot, zucchini, broccoli stalk, lemon & dill with fresh cucumber, red onion, caper, toasted sunflower seed, organic spring mix and creamy lemon yogurt dill sauce. It can be enjoyed as a salad or in a wrap.
Another must-try item is Mrs. Maisel's famous slow-cooked beer-braised brisket with horseradish aioli, carrot slaw and scrambled eggs on a Kaiser roll. This dish has been highly praised by customers and only 15 were left during one of their recent social media posts.
Spoken Cafe also sources local ingredients such as Farmer Jim's beautiful local veggies from Hardin Family Farms in Michigan. They even offer raw Chicagoland honey for sale.
