"There's no gentle way to say this: The brunch line at Mildred's is out of control. Because this Liberty Village institution takes no reservations, people regularly put their names on the list, then spend an hour—sometimes two—strolling around the neighborhood before they're finally seated. But once inside the warm, buzzy space, you'll understand why it's worth the wait. For starters, there are two takes on Canada's classic Bloody Caesar (one of them involves clamato juice), and tart pink mimosas. But you really just stuck this 90-minute landing for a taste of the Mrs. Biederhof's blueberry buttermilk pancakes, and the epic big brunch skillet, a symphony of spicy pulled pork, black beans, potato hash, and sunny-side up eggs. So, yeah—maybe it's best to walk before you eat." - Todd Plummer
