More Bang for Your Buck at The Meatloaf Bakery

_dscf7701_sm-150x150.jpg"Meatloaf" and "bakery" aren't two words typically found in proximity to each other, at least not in my world. Who'd ever have thought you could consume an entire meal by devouring a cupcake (or as they're referred to at The Meatloaf Bakery, "loafies"). True, savory cupcakes have been on the rise for some time now, but this takes the concept to a whole new level.

(Pictured - The Omega-3 loaf; Wild caught Alaskan salmon; rich and fluffy with a hint of lemon, parsley and dill. Topped with wasabi mashed potatoes and served with fresh lemon-dill yogurt sauce.)
The Meatloaf Bakery is located in Lincoln Park at 2464 N Clark St Chicago, IL 60614. 773-698-6667.
