After two years of planning and renovations, Chef Xavier Vance and Troy Vivrett launched Southern Chicago on June 24, 2023. Their vision transformed from brunch and cocktails to a fine dining experience featuring upscale soul food. Despite various challenges, including renovation delays and a larger space than initially planned, the restaurant now boasts an outdoor patio and a menu with sophisticated offerings like wagyu burgers and tomahawk steaks. Vance aims to redefine Southern dining with an emphasis on elevating traditional cuisine into a more elegant experience.
The work and wait, Vance says, will be worth it as after the expansion, Southern Chicago is now equipped to be a fine dining restaurant with an outdoor patio and private space for personal and corporate events.
The concept of the restaurant is a Southern American steakhouse. We really want to emphasize that... sometimes when people are thinking of a restaurant that has the word southern or South, it's just strictly soul food, and that is not the case here.
