BroKin Yolk Creekside The

Delicious things come from the fusion of cultures at The Bro’Kin Yolk in the northwest community of Evanston. Brothers Gilbert and Jeffrey Carlos own and operate the brunch spot, and they spent months planning its menu, which brings together Filipino dishes that reflect their family background with Western brunch standards.

The restaurant is named for its central components: brothers, kin and eggs. The eatery has had customers queuing up since the day it opened in August of 2015. The food is locally grown and so fresh that the restaurant doesn’t own a freezer. And yet, the amount of food served is a bit mind boggling. On weekends alone, the eatery goes through over 350 kilograms of potatoes, and 3,000 eggs.

Another testament to the brothers' winning food formula, the restaurant was featured on The Food Network's hit program You Gotta Eat Here in its first year of business.
