  Brunch used to be a foreign concept to me before I met Sam. I had simpler tastes and my idea of a nice dinner was going to Bakers Square. So brunch was one of those terms like aioli or molecular gastronomy that didnt really resonate with me at all. After Son of a Butchers Cochon Brunch, Im kinda glad Im in the know.Sam and I decided to come in on a Saturday morning around noon. It was raining a bit outside so the outdoor seating along Richmond St. were empty. I can imagine it would be a pretty sweet spot to grab some food on a warm night though. On the inside the decor kinda reminded me of steampunk a little bit. I could be way off here but there were a lot of brass and wood finishings. Plus there were these chairs that almost looked like they had gears on the legs. You could tell some thought went into the style of this place. Plus, the murals they have going on outside are pretty neat too. I figure this shot has been taken a hundred times before but this greets you as you walk up.Being the cochon (pig) brunch, I kinda had to go with the Piggie by the pound. Sam went with the Beef Navel Eggs Benedict, classic brunch food. Sam said that her eggs Benedict were good, I tried a bit and the yolks and hollandaise running into the muffin made it a really rich bite. The star though was the Piggie by the pound. You get a serious pile of pulled pork with some corn tortillas and I decided to add-on some almond chimichurri for good measure. The pork was super tender but there was still some pieces with a bit of a crunch to them and then there were some fatty bits mixed in too. Wow is pretty much all I have to say. If you come here for brunch and you dont try this, youre doing it wrong. I will say that it can probably feed 2 people and it was only $11 when I went. Thats an awesome deal. Since I was eating at a tavern I also snagged a Goose Island Green Line.There were just a few nits to pick though. Sam came in wanting to try the biscuits and gravy and the spuddies on the side but they werent ready yet. That was kind of unfortunate since it was already an hour after they opened. Aside from that, Id say Son of a Butcher was a solid 3.5 out of 5 for me. With Fat Rice across the street and Longman & Eagle a few blocks away, Son of a Butcher has some high profile neighbors, but I think it holds its own. Sam and I would definitely recommend this place to someone on the hunt for a meal in Logan Square. euroatheart.com
