My Place Restaurant is ideal at your place

Welcome back to another Spotlight Series with Sarah! The series where the writer gets to know the city more personally, while the readers get to know the writer better in the process.
Some months I know exactly what/where I want to write about and review for my column, while other months, I basically stumble into it. This month was the latter.
My mom had surgery this month, so aside from working full-time with two part-time jobs, I’ve also been busy taking care of her as she recovers. My days are full from start to finish, so finding a way to make my life easier while taking care of my mom is ideal.
Nothing is more ideal than a pick-up order, so I don’t have to prepare a meal for her. So, on Friday, June 27th, I called My Place Restaurant to place a pick-up order for my mom’s lunch that day. She wanted the Hungry Man Breakfast with scrambled eggs and half biscuits and gravy. I ordered myself the club pita with a side of fries and ranch.

My Place Restaurant is on Westbound Michigan Avenue and Elizabeth.

I called 10 minutes before my lunch break and the employee on the phone told me that my order would be ready in 10 minutes. I was really pleased with how the timing was so perfect.
On my lunch break I headed to My Place Restaurant to pick up our order. The register was to the left of the front door right when you walked in, and I saw my food already boxed up and waiting for me when I arrived. I was in and out quickly, but I did notice how cozy and familiar the inside of the restaurant felt.
There were lots of tables with a great amount of lighting from the windows. I love tables in the sunlight. If I was dining-in and wanted a table with a window seat, I could watch the traffic on Michigan Ave go by. But I had to hurry home to give mom her food and get back to work.
And the way she ate that food seemed like I hadn’t fed her in days. She devoured everything. On a scale of 1 to 10, my mom rated the ham and bacon a 10, and the sausage and biscuits and gravy a 12.
“It was not only delicious, but was a good, sizable portion, so I was very full after I ate it. I would definitely like to eat it again,” said my mom.
She was kind enough to give me one of her sausages and let me try the biscuits and gravy. I’ve always been a big fan of biscuits and gravy, and I completely agree with my mom on how delicious they were. The sausage was the kind with the skin that has a little snap when you bite it. (That is my favorite kind of sausage). It had a real smoky taste, and I really liked it.

Our lunch carry-out order from My Place Restaurant.

I ended up eating my pita a little later and I was surprised with how good it was. The pita bread was soft and warm, and the ham, turkey, and bacon all complimented each other so well. The only thing is that I wish I would have asked for extra mayo since there wasn’t enough on there for me. The ranch was thin and runny, so it was very easy to dip my fries in.
I agree with my mom and would definitely order from here again.
