Meet the Breakfast Sandwich Worth Driving 90 Minutes For

Is my jealousy showing, or is it just the thought that I'd have to drive 80-90 minutes to try this sausage biscuit, made with ginger sage sausage, white cheddar, peach habanero jam, and an egg served sunny side up?

Illinois Has Other Cities. And Great Breakfast Spots, Too.

I'm not bitter, just a bit hungry, and yes, I'll be attempting to copy that Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits breakfast sandwich at home until I can figure out a way to try it in Chicago. If you'd like to have it all it for yourself, live and in person, Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits is located at 2051 North California Avenue.
