The Publican

Best restaurant in Chicago!

went there for brunch!!! super goood!!!!

this was a while ago so my descriptions may not be the best... but go there on saturday brunch!!!!

sourdough pancake baked with sausages... holy moly, you would think that it would be super sweet but its actually pretty balanced. the sourdough keeps it from being overly sweet and brings in more of a savory which meshes well with the maple syrup and the salty meaty sausage and lets not forget about the bacon wrapped chicken thigh!!!!

i had the dual quads. and it was super yummy!!! 2 sausages, eggs, cornbread and sauces!!! yummy!!! two different types of sauces, eggs were good to break open and corn bread was great to sop up the egg and sauce!!!

got an order of hash browns for good measure... must say they are delicious... def up there in the top 5!!

pork rinds... i dont know if ive ever officially had them.. but i thought they were delicious... you really need to master the art of breathing before you get them. i obviously did not master the art of breathing and inhaled the seasoning or the crack powder that covers the pork rinds multiplie times... glad i didnt have an orange runny nose all day!!

mimosa... delicious!!!

will def go back!!!!

We reserved a table here through Opentable and it was seamless. We were seated 10 minutes earlier than our reserved time. It was really loud in here at 1pm. I ordered the ham dish and it was phenomenal. It was covered in an egg, kale, grits, and it also came with a side of picked cauliflower. The flavors were spot-on and the portion was perfect. The bacon here is like 2 inches thick, and the spice cake was delicious too. I had a beermosa and it was good, and the french press was standard as well. Interesting concept, I felt like the space was a bit too weird - pub-like and crazy on one side and nice and almost fancy on another. The bathrooms were too dark - I couldn't see anything! But I thought the food was solid. Well worth it.
