Recently I had a cartoon stuck in my head. It was “Grin and Bear it” comic A “one boxer” as I used to call them, grown up comics, things I didn’t understand. It was a black and white line drawing, the one the left were children, holding hands, skipping under banners with year’s on them, that were spaced long distances apart over rolling hills. On the right side was a man’s head, which appeared to be spinning, with calendar sheets flying and years, lots of them, all jumbled around his head. I can’t remember if there were words underneath, if there were they were short and sweet. I remember having to ask my mom what it meant, all she said was “you will get it one day, it is too hard to explain”.
Kit Kat Lounge and Supper Club
Well no holiday weekend is complete without a holiday brunch. While the thought of brunch in PJ’s is really tempting I suggest you spend it at one of my favorite haunts with my favorite Diva’s. Once you decide, go ahead and say ” Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club look out, we’re coming for ya”. Really, What would the holidays be without a little food and a little sparkle? The Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club is a Female Impersonator Restaurant and Bar with female impersonators that perform past and present icons, from Mae West to Tina Turner, Madonna, Cher and the likes.
Always dressed to my daytime nine’s and off we went go the Kit Kat Lounge, where you not only can get a fabulous brunch for $$ but unlimited Mimosas or Bloody Marys’ and all the bling that the holiday season has to offer.
My favorite Diva, Madame X, sang her little heart out and ripped off her 
tear away gowns to reveal little sparkly costumes beneath. Madame X never fails to put on a great show. No matter how often we go, and trust me it is one of my favorite places on any Sunday, not only for the great food but to catch Madame X, who is always spot on with new tunes and costumes added frequently. She is so sweet and cordial, has a memory that won’t quit, and she tries to speak with every table and is always willing to take a photo with your party. 4Broad fact, Madame X is in so many of our family photos, that she is now considered my “other” daughter!!
The “Divalicous Brunch” at the Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club is very well presented. From The Caesar Salad to the Steak Skillet and the Madam X Burger with their caramelized onion strings, “so sweet”, to die for; to Rueben our very easy on the eyes, waiter. Who we might add, we ran ragged, but who knows how to keep secretly filling those unlimited glasses, while killing you softly with his song, oops, his eyes. Want a touch of Mexican, try the Huevos Rancheros.
Those are just a few of the items on the Sunday Brunch menu but make no mistake all week long the food is outstanding. The Marlon Brando Steak Meal, the Mae West Chicken and waffles dinner to the Yoko Ono which is a salmon filet. All the food is delish and all the entertainers are sassy good and the nicest wait staff around. We happen to love Madame X who can be seen there every Sunday.
The owners Edward Gisiger and Ramesh Ariyannayakam are very present, charming and inviting hosts. They have etched out a wonderful spot here on Halsted Street. With great entertainment, food and spirits (did we mention over 200 kinds of Martini’s..and that cute waiter Rueben, just sayn’). We keep reminding Edward that we are famous and I must say he is learning that we mean it.
The Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club, is not to be missed whether it be a special occasion or you make it your “Cheers” as I and my girls have (obviously a 4 out of 4Broads rating). It is located at 3700 N. Halsted Street in Chicago. Reservations are always a good idea, just because they are, 773.525.1111. Of course tell them Dee Dee sent you, not that you need that because they will take the best care of you whether you know us or not! It’s just us making sure Edward knows we are famous.
Def TOOO much fun girls! Wayyyyy Goooood!
You Broads are F A B U L O U S!!!
