The Southern
Your Northern home for Southern steez
Opening Friday: 1840 W North Ave, btw Wolcott and Honore;
Bucktown; 773.342.1840
You know relatively little about Southern culture, but
judging by Dukes of Hazzard it revolves around a disdain for
car doors, frequent short shorts, and lots of Cooter.
Broadening your sub-Mason Dixon perspective, The Southern.
Setting up shop in the former Chaise Lounge space, TS aims
to be more of a down-home, laid-back boozer than its
coastally inspired predecessor, with a long timber bar
surrounded by wood-planked high-top tables that contribute a
classy picnic vibe, but thankfully no picnic baskets, or
that silly Yogi Bear would mess up EVERYTHING. The menu has
a distinct comfort food feel, starting with bar snacks like
cheddar/pecan butter/cayenne cheese straws, a "Southern
Poutine" of hand-cut fries topped with cheese curds, tasso
ham, and gravy, and Gunthorp pork and chow chow (a Southern
veggie relish) with cornmeal johnny cakes, which provide a
wonderful opportunity to bond with heavyset North Jersey
Italians who're hiding their sexuality. Larger plates
consist of grilled shrimp and grits with cheddar and Frank's
hot sauce, "Country Captain", a roast chicken with curried
raisins and pine nuts, and a duck cassoulet with garlic
sausage and blackeyed peas whose forward-thinking rhythms
and incisive social commentary have made them the legume of
a generation/wedding band intermissions.
Libation-wise they'll have 20-plus whiskeys and bourbons, a
beer list heavy on Southern faves like Abita and Terrapin,
and concoctions like a Stoli/peach schnapps/lemonade/mint
number called a "Dirty Peach", just don't say that aloud to
Daisy, or her cousins will shoot you with a bow & arrow, as
is their Southern custom.
