My wife is subjecting me to watch this awful reality show “Grease: You’re the one that I want!” And since I’m being forced to suffer through it, now you’re going to be forced to suffer a little bit as well.


Tell me about it stud!

They got eggs.
Of all varieties.
Even salads in a bowl.
But the eggs that they are fryin',
Are so satisfyin’!

You better order up,
'Cause the food is good,
But you’ll need plenty of room.
The omelettes are big;
And they come with some sides
Two pancakes that are just huge.

The coffee, the coffee made me do-do.

Yolk’s the one that you want.
(Yolk is the one that you want),
ooh, ooh, ooh, breakfast.
The one that you want.
(Yolk is the one that you want),
ooh, ooh, ooh, brunch.
The one that you want
(Yolk is the one that you want),
ooh, ooh, oooooooooooh.
The one you need.
Oh, yes indeed.

Skillets filled
With a selection
Of veggies and lots of eggs.
And they move in the direction,
Of my mouth.


You better eat up,
'Cause you can’t get enough.

Can’t get enough
Of food that makes you want to cry.

You’ll want to eat up
Your mouth will approve

It will approve
And make you feel full inside.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure you’ll be satisfied.

OK, that was painful. But Yolk isn’t. Great food. Great portions. Huge menu (omelettes, sandwiches, scramblers, pancakes, French toast, skillets, frittatas, salads, burgers, and even crepes). Surprisingly good pancakes for a place that specializes in eggs. Something for everyone. Plenty of seating. Perfect south loop location. And lights that look like eggs. What more could you want?

I love breakfast. It’s my favorite meal of the day. So any place with a decent breakfast menu is going to get a good rating from me. And if you’re a breakfast place with a great menu, you’re ratings are going to be close to perfect. I’m sure I’ll visit Yolk again and again.

Chest bump with a manly ass slap.
