Breakfast at Ina's
Pull up a chair and open your heart.
Famous for its Heavenly Hots (pancakes topped with fruit compote), Ina’s was a Chicago breakfast institution. Every customer received a warm welcome from proprietor and chef Ina Pinkney, the “Breakfast Queen.” After 33 years in the restaurant business, Pinkney retired in 2013. Following the restaurant’s final month, Breakfast at Ina’s celebrates a beloved Chicago eatery and a woman who achieved her dream against the odds.

Breakfast at Ina's, winner of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival's award for best documentary, is an inspiring story of Ina Pinkney,a woman starting off in Bensonhurst Brooklyn in an Orthodox Brooklyn family, eventually moving to Chicago and starting over with a bakery and eventually a Breakfast Restaurant that changed the way those in Chicago ate breakfast. Ina decided to retire after 33 years. At the Film Festival, she answered questions after the film showing, including mine. THis film has shown at many film festivals across the US and I hope they get into the Brooklyn Film Festival.
