Your mom's old toaster has found a new home. Kitsch'n on Roscoe uses it to hold napkins, menus and silverware -- just one of the many different things you'll find at this restaurant on the up-and-coming Roscoe strip. The self-dubbed ''comfort food with a twist'' restaurant propels you back into a '70s childhood -- willingly or not. Don't be afraid to order Tang or Tab here. The philosophy is 'viva la vintage' and the party begins from the moment you sit down. Formica tables are filled with toys like Etch-a-Sketch and Magic 8 balls. Walls are covered with grade-school pictures and vintage paraphernalia. Even the Colt 45 spokesman smiles with his date from a neon sign that reads, ''It works every time!'' Feel free to play with the toys, everyone else does, while waiting for your TV dinner to arrive. The owners say that every item on the menu was inspired by something Mom or Dad used to make. But would mom really permit brownie batter for dessert? Kitsch'n encourages these kinds of kiddy indulgences which add a twist to the traditional menu of home-cooked staples like potpie, meatloaf and lasagna. The tongue-in-cheek hot spot also serves an award-winning brunch, which many patrons prefer over the dinner selection. Pull up a vinyl chair to green eggs and ham or a Kitsch'n sink omelet. It was even given the notable ''best hangover breakfast'' honor by 'New City.' There's not much Kitsch'n can do better in terms of atmosphere; it's truly a recreation of everything '70s. -- Vanessa Nichols   (Photo: Thaddeus Rudd)
