Today’s travel post is one of my all time favorite restaurants in Chicago. I’ve been back and forth between LA and Chicago this past month with the holidays, and this is one of my go to brunch spots when I’m back in town [after all, brunch is my favorite holiday].

WHAT: Summer House Santa Monica
WHERE: 1954 N Halsted Chicago, IL
TRY: Bloody Mary, Breakfast Tostadas

The restaurant itself is made out to look like a summery spot all year round [which everyone in Chicago is desperate for right about now]. If you like bloody mary’s, you will love this spicy version. Grab a few friends, order different things, and share them all together so you can try all of the goodness that is summer house breakfast. My personal favorite? The tostadas. If you think the photo looks good, just wait until you try them!
