Happy Monday!!!
Its MLK day and the look alike and I decided to call up some
friends to see if they wanted to do lunch at Big Jones in Andersonville. My teenage son was out of school so he joined
us as well. What better way to celebrate MLK day than to dine on great
food. It was freezing outside so the
look alike and I threw on some ugg boots and a hat. Chicago weather can be
brutal.
We get to Big Jones and it is packed!!! We are finally
seated in about 30 minutes and my mouth is watering for the skillet cornbread
that everybody is ordering. Big Jones
had a special “Soul Food” menu this week and I was excited to try their
cornflake fried chicken. We ordered the
skillet cornbread and the black eye pea fritters. I was blown away. The
cornbread and fritters were delicious. We all opted for the cornflake fried
chicken that came with rice and peas and greens. My son wanted a cheeseburger
which he complained about after he tasted my chicken. Teenagers are funny to
me. They act like it’s killing them to spend a little quality time with their
parents. Word of advice: Leave the
teenagers at home LOL LOL
Now back to the food……the cornflake fried chicken was good
but Toya said the regular fried chicken is better. I highly recommend the fried
chicken. See the rest of the menu at https://bigjoneschicago.com
