After a photo shoot for a new listing this morning, I took a friend out to lunch for her birthday in Barrington. Being an affluent suburb, Barrington has a lot of nice restaurants.
She picked the local Egg Harbor Cafe shown left. Egg Harbor Cafe is a chain of 12 restaurants serving breakfast and lunch. They are located in northern and western suburbs of Chicago.
Looking over the list of locations which includes Wheaton, Elmhurst, and Glenview, I realized that an Egg Harbor Cafe in a town is a pretty good indicator that real estate prices are on the higher side there.
If you go there for lunch, try the Door County Melt. It’s chicken salad blended with dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and diced apples grilled on multigrain bread with Jack and Cheddar cheeses and served with potato pancakes. I had it today and it was excellent!
