Bagel With Cream Cheese from White Palace Grill

Item Purchased: Bagel With Cream Cheese from White Palace Grill
Location Purchased: White Palace Grill / 1159 S. Canal / Chicago, IL
Price: $2.50 + tax

Review: White Palace Grill is a favorite diner of mine. A holdout from the old days with all of the construction and social "upgrading" going on in the South Loop, this 50's style greasy spoon is a sure shot for all of your cheap breakfast, soup/sandwich and attitude needs. The waitstaff regularly snap at each other playfully over the morning paper and cigarettes and still manage to pour you a cup of coffee, smile and call you "sweetie."

The bagel I ordered looked burnt with a layer of thin black carbon toast marks on it. The globs of melted butter dripping from the fist sized bread ring gave it a smoky flavor The more-than-ample serving of cream cheese (2 containers) served on the side of it was more than I usually expect from an affordable diner.
