Elevated Southern Food at Rex 1516 in Philly...


Had Brunch the other day at Rex 1516 in Philly.. Elevated Southern Cuisine by Executive Chef Justin Swain on South Street in Philly... 
I was craving a Croque Madame but I got swayed to the Chicken & Waffle Benedict and the Shrimp & Grits because it had Pork Belly... 


Started with a nice dry French sparkling.. 


Comtes de Bucques... 


Chicken & Waffle Benedict...
Fried Chicken atop Belgian Waffles, Poached Eggs & Creole Hollandaise...


Shrimp & Grits with Fried Egg & Pork Belly...
Fried Egg, Roasted Tomatoes, Spicy Cheddar Sauce, Crispy Pork Belly & Blackened Shrimp on Creamy Grits...

Props to Chef Swain... 
Great Southern Brunch with a nice spin on it... Will hopefully get back there to try the Cajun Croque Madam before I head west... So many places to eat still in Philly, so little time...
