Known for fried chicken, Buck’s in Wicker Park also serves a sensational brunch. The Shrimp and Grits presents two pan-fried, head-on prawns tossed in a tasso ham gravy and tucked into a delicious mess of slow-cooked cheesy grits finished with sliced scallions. For a bit more green, opt for the Fried Green Tomato Benedict. Two discs of fried green tomatoes stand in for traditional English muffins as the base for this mammoth dish. They’re dredged in seasoned cornmeal and fried, then topped with housemade tasso ham, two poached eggs and a Creole-spiced hollandaise sauce.
