Luella’s Southern Kitchen

What type of cuisine makes you most nostalgic? For chef Darnell Reed, its southern foodlike fluffy biscuits and extra-juicy fried chicken whipped up by his great-grandmother, Luella, who came to Chicago in the 40s by way of Morgan City, Mississippi. Reeds Lincoln Square restaurant honors Luella with a menu inspired by her expert home cooking, pairing succulent, double-brined fried chicken alongside buttermilk waffles and a decadent drizzle of syrup. Take a bite and youll wish youd grown up eating Luellas meals, too.
