BUCKTOWN— Sunday brunch isn’t new at Dixie, but the cheffy Southern-inspired restaurant has unveiled a new menu and added Saturday service. Chef Charlie McKenna (Lillie’s Q) and his crew are serving a variety of southern-inspired items that will rotate weekly. Sample items include “Pull-apart Biscuits” with cinnamon sugar, a croque madam (country ham, Kentucky rose mornay, fried egg, brioche), and a “Table Burger” (griddle patties, pimento, chow chow, red onion, benne bun). There’s also a spiked iced coffee made with Sparrow Coffee on their brunch drink list. Brunch goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekends.
