A Toast Story
The menu also features a go-for-broke option called “Build Your Own Damn House,” which consists of a coffee, a coconut, and a piece of cinnamon toast. Hanging in the door is a manifesto that covers a green chalkboard. “We are local people with useful skills in tangible situations,” it says, among other things. “Drink a cup of Trouble. Eat a coconut. And learn to build your own damn house. We will help. We are building a network.”
I’ll admit, I clicked on this article because I really love both commercial toasters (a love developed in corporate cafeterias) and the ability to buy toast on the go (a love developed in London), and the accompanying tweets promised this trend was Chicago-bound. Alas, the story here is about a lot more than bread.
