A little bit about why and how we make the best burger in Chicago, no notes. In these days of major outbreaks of badness from industrially produced food, it is more than ever to know the people who grow your food, and how they do it. Fischer Farms Natural Foods does it right. Healthy animals produce healthy meat, makes the most delicious food we can buy.

Your seafood plug is right here! Chesapeake soft shells are in the house and for these hot hot days of summer, we make a salad with Werp Farm greens (none of that sus industrial lettuce for us) and a gado gado - inspired combination of Nichols farm fingerling potatoes and cucumbers with Klug Farm greens beans, candied peanut, benne, and a piquant sweet chili dressing with ginger and galangal 🙌🏻 this is available at dinner but don’t be shy to ask at lunch 😉

What is your ultimate fish sandwich?

Shrimp and grits has become sysonymous with Southern cuisine, but did you know its origins are in the Gullah culture of the coastal Carolinas and Georgia? This is Gullah cuisine. When you call it Lowcountry you gloss over the beautiful and resilient culture that created it. IMO one of the absolute best dishes in all of American cuisine and a big contributor to Southern Cuisine’s status as one of the world’s greats. 😋

We opened big jones in 2008 believing three things to be true that were revolutionary at the time:

1. We believe that Southern Cuisine is one of the world’s great regional cuisines, belonging alongside Chinese, Mexican, French, Italian, or Indian/Pakistani cooking. Southern cuisine had been mistyped and miscast by generations referring to it as “comfort food” or using nostalgic tropes around meemaws and certain racist iconography that unfairly demean it, discounting the training, skill, and artistic sensitivity it takes to cook it well. We believe Southern cuisine is a high cuisine.

2. We believe that the best angels of Southern cuisine call upon a connection to the land, and that seasonal, ever-changing menus would showcase how exciting a Southern kitchen truly is.

3. We believe that as a great regional cuisine, the Southern kitchen is constantly evolving and changing, reflecting changing demographics as well as changing tastes; Southern cuisine is exciting and can be innovative and thought provoking in addition to delicious and nourishing a body and soul.
