"Uncle Remus Saucy Fried Chicken, one of the top spots for crunchy fried poultry in Chicago, this week reopened its freshly remodeled flagship location after a 13-month closure on the West Side, Block Club Chicago reports. CEO Charmaine Rickette told reporters that there were lots of reasons for the temporary shutdown — including staffing shortages, high food costs, and supply chain delays — but ultimately it provided time to improve equipment and revamp the space with a $162,000 grant from the city’s Neighborhood Opportunity Fund program. Rickette’s father, Gus Rickette, founded the original restaurant in 1969 on Cicero Avenue and is considered among the originators of mild sauce, a sweet and tangy condiment now popular throughout the city. Uncle Remus Saucy Fried Chicken, 5611 W. Madison Street, Open 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday." - Naomi Waxman
