The Candy has the scoop on the opening of Jam (937 N. Damen, at Walton), the new breakfast-brunch joint from Jerry Suqi of Chickpea. With a kitchen manned by Jeffrey Mauro (late of North Pond and Charlie Trotter’s), the restaurant offers up unexpected combinations like buckwheat crepes stuffed with Asian pear and lamb neck, or an egg-white terrine with aged goat cheese. And there’s no shortage of menu-requisites: pork belly (check!), house-made preserves (check!), and comfort food like French toast (check!). [DailyCandy]
