The food truck-turned storefront specializes in two things: pie and biscuits. While the pie list is streamlined (four to five slices a day, that's it), the biscuit menu is much bigger, with biscuit sandwiches, biscuits drowning in gravy and biscuits piled with eggs and chorizo, among other iterations. The ambiance is a little more charming than the food, because while the picnic tables and blue and white checkered papers atop faux paper plates are ideal for Instagramming, the dry biscuits leave something to be desired. Pie's the way to go, and if you need caffeinating, the iced coffee is dispensed via tap. Â
While the California Avenue access point is not one of the major entry parks to the 606, this gateway will undoubtedly be heavily trafficked. Step off the Bloomingdale Trail at California and you are on the edge of Humboldt Park and Logan Square, in a neighborhood with rich Puerto Rican heritage and the cutting edge of Chicago restaurants and bars. Grab a slice of pie or piece of fried chicken before heading to a punk show in one of the North Side's hippest enclaves.
