Holly Golightly would be jealous.

Tru gave 312DD the scoop on its brilliant collaboration with the Tiffany's location on the Mag Mile over the weekend.

Executive Chef Anthony Martin cooked a four-course "Breakfast at Tiffany's" feast at the store Saturday morning.

After being greeted at the door with mimosas before the store opened, the three out-of-town guests (who won the breakfast as part of an all-Chicago auction package at last year's Naples Winter Wine Festival) shopped around the downstairs cases before being escorted to a private table set up in the second-story window overlooking the Mag Mile.

Working out of the store's back kitchen, Martin prepared a delicious menu inspired by the store's famous jewelry collection.

Guests noshed on silver-pressed egg cups (in the signature Tiffany box, of course) filled with slow-cooked scrambled eggs, creme fraiche and California sturgeon caviar; buttermilk biscuits in Karabuta pork sausage gravy and smothered in gold leaf; green apple smoked Scottish salmon with Champagne dill sauce, garnished with salmon roe; and for dessert, a myriad of fruit, carved into jewel-like pieces and topped with whipped cream.
