After finding herself wanting for a boxed waffle mix that met her high standards for breakfast, Erica Barrett launched a culinary brand from her hometown of Mobile, Alabama, with flavor-packed waffle mixes, bacon rubs and fried chicken mixes that can be found in major grocery stores and online. As she grew her business, appearances on “Shark Tank” and “The Profit” garnered national attention for Southern Culture Artisan Foods, and her most popular products are regularly sold out. But you can still get a taste at her seafood-focused restaurant, which opened in 2019. There, you’ll find deviled eggs topped with fried lobster, spring rolls filled with oxtail and shredded Gouda; and Parti Gras Pasta, studded with forkfuls of crawfish, lobster, shrimp and andouille sausage. Barrett is also planning to open a second location in Birmingham’s popular Pizitz Food Hall next year.

That case is ongoing. A Cook County judge previously ruled that the city’s vaccination policy can remain in place for now, but the city can’t enforce the Dec. 31 deadline for officers to get the shot without first arbitrating it with the police unions. In addition to the FOP, the other three Chicago police unions, for sergeants, lieutenants and captains, are co-plaintiffs.
