Southern restaurant (US) · Bucktown

"Chef/owner Darnell Reed launched a follow-up to Luella's Southern Kitchen in November 2018. As one might infer based on its name, the restaurant focuses on chicken. The bird comes in three forms: buttermilk fried, smoked jerk and 'The Gospel,' which is the fried version coated in a Creole sauce very similar to New Orleans barbecue. The concise menu also includes a few sides, such as maple candied yams, biscuits with jam and macaroni and cheese. If you can't make it for dinner or lunch during the week, the restaurant is also open for all of your weekend brunch needs." - Aaron Hutcherson
