Dining room at Big Jones, Chicago, ILPaul Fehribach’s simple-on-the-surface restaurant emphasizes heirloom Southern recipes, made with seasonal ingredients from local farms and purveyors. House-made charcuterie gives way to a menu peppered with revived, historic dishes and family-style suppers, like fried oysters, shrimp and hushpuppies made with Carolina gold rice and Three Sisters Garden corn flour breading. In the past, we have enjoyed spicy-sweet, boldly flavored baby-back ribs slathered with house-made Worcestershire sauce. Meanwhile, a fried green tomato BLT may notably up the ante on a classic. High ceilings and bright walls washed in natural and chandelier lighting lend a genteel feel, which is furthered by the offering of afternoon tea.
