Successfully Tried a Chicago‑Style Country Brunch Spot! 🍳

Jumped on Restaurant Week to try this American brunch place — turned out to be delicious (leaning Southern‑style)! Today’s Menu 🍽️ 🥗 Harvest Salad A refreshing, crisp starter with sweet apple slices. 🎃 Soup of the Day Forgot the exact ingredients (pumpkin, maybe?) — but it was silky and rich with creamy flavor. 🍗 Chef Art Smith’s Fried Chicken and Waffle The fried chicken is super tender — crispy, savory skin and juicy inside. Waffle is soft and fluffy. 🥑 Avocado Toast A pleasant surprise — soft toast topped with avocado and shrimp, a delightful combo. 🥧 Quiche Lorraine Soft, lightly savory egg filling with a sturdy, buttery crust. 🍩 Beignets Such a fun treat — like a sweet, airy version of youtiao (Chinese fried dough). Crispy outside, pillowy inside. Key Details 📍 🍴 Restaurant: Blue Door Kitchen & Garden 📍 Address: 52 W Elm St, Chicago, IL 60610 💰 Price: $35‑45 per person. The vibe is cozy, country‑chic — even the plates are pretty blue patterned pottery! The decor is warm and inviting, perfect for a sunny day. Portions aren’t huge but just right for brunch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something fresh and comforting. What new spots did you try during Restaurant Week?
