Hominy French toast at Big Jones
There is food that is supposed to taste like fall and then there is food that actually tastes like fall. The hominy bread French toast at Big Jones not only tastes like fall, it looks like fall. Thick slices of apple rest on stacks of citrusy hominy bread with smears of apple butter and a healthy drizzle of salted caramel. The only problem here is that the hominy bread can't withstand the weight of all these toppings (plus creme fraiche so rich and thick it tastes like vanilla ice cream) and starts to fall apart more and more with each bite. Aside from a bit of a mess, this French toast will have you wishing it were fall all year round. 5347 N Clark St (773-275-5725, bigjoneschicago.com).-Erin Delahanty
