Every time we are in Chicago we find a new spot of have Sunday Brunch. There is just something about all the neighborhoods in Chicago that make brunch so enjoyable. Today’s choice for brunch was Publican, a restaurant devoted to the pig.
We met our friends Chris and Ivy at noon and it was a good thing we had reservations because every table in the restaurant was full. Mike started with a mimosa made with orange juice and beer. A unique combination, not my favorite drink but he enjoyed it. I ordered the official beverage of brunch; a bloody mary with a beer chaser. Delicious!
After perusing the menu we all decided on our dishes and were eagerly awaiting our food. Chris and Ivy ordered the frites with a fried egg over the top and we got a side of their housemade bacon. Both were amazing and probably my favorite part of the meal. Being the pig and bacon lover that I am I really liked the custom napkins. I think I need some for our house.
Ivy ordered the shrimp and chorizo with polenta
Sarc and I both got the pastrami short ribs with heirloom tomato salad, an overeasy egg and toast. The fresh tomatoes were definitely the star of this dish.
Mike had the pork cheek sandwich that also had egg, heirloom tomato with a basil aioli.
This was one of the better brunches we have had in quite some time!

I don’t go out for brunch nearly enough. That place looks really good. And a beer mimosa. Interesting. I wouldn’t think those two would mix well. Love your choice drinks though!
