Doin' Lines: Bad Butter On The Stoop

Episode 2 of Doin' Lines is out and this week we were at Bad Butter in Bucktown, Chicago. Chef Dan Koester AKA Dan The Baker opened this storefront in April after gaining popularity amongst the foodie community with his Covid-era treat drops. Before that he served as head pastry chef at restaurants around the city. Without giving it away I'll say this - Dan & his crew know what they're doing and I've been dreaming about the sour cream & onion potato chip croissant ever since.

From day one they've consistently sold out within 2 - 3 hours of opening, so we knew we'd have to hit it up. Unlike the line at Kasama (below), this one was totally indoors, albeit still nearly 40 people long. (We went on a weekday, so I'm guessing the line snakes outside on Sat/Sun.) We felt especially douchey recording this one inside for some reason, so hopefully the next line we stumble across is back on the sidewalk. Until next line...
