In his long and varied career, Bill Kim has never run a kitchen that engaged in regular brunch service—until now. That's partially because of where he's worked (Charlie Trotter's never did get around to serving Sunday-morning pancakes), and partially because Kim just isn't a morning eater. "I don't eat breakfast," he says. "I drink a banana shake." That shake—a creation of Kim's wife, Yvonne Cadiz Kim—made it to the new brunch menu at bellyQ(1400 W Randolph St, 312-563-1010), but it's among the more conventional items offered. Most of the menu is comprised of traditional brunch foods that Kim and his team have injected with Asian influences: crispy waffles dotted with specks of nori, fried chicken with a coconut-milk gravy. "We take the classics and we put our twist on it," Kim says. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his take on eggs Benedict.
