It's Going The Way of the Dodo, for the Next Two Months

The wait for brunch at Milk & Honey is going to be longer than usual for the next two-plus months. The lovable dodo is closing its current location at 953 N. Damen on Oct. 28 and moving down the street to 2003 W. Fulton. Their goal is to re-open by early 2008.

For fans of dodo and its "breakunch," this is a good thing. Without AC, dodo was stifling in the summer, and we had breakfasts there where the power went out several times in a single meal due to the faulty/old wiring of the building. The new space will be larger, seating about 50-60 people inside and 30-40 outside, according to dodo's WIlliam Kester. The new digs should "create a more conducive, functioning, operational dodo," something we are completely in favor of, especially if it means we can get a breakunwich with avocado and tomato a little faster (breakunwich = delicious panini with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and your choice of fillings).

Kester says the new location will begin as BYOB, but that they plan on applying for a liquor license, "mostly for dinner/after work crowds." Which brings us to our last point; the move also means the return of dodo dinner, something we tried, and were disappointed to hear didn't stick. "We are hoping to bring chef Jeremy Brewington back sometime in the summer," Kester wrote us, "and start dinner back up after a few months of fine tuning the breakfast and lunch."
