Brunch is often associated with weekends but the White Sheep in Orland Park offers brunch daily.
“There’s not a lot of places like this in the Southland,” said Dionisios Pappas, who owns the White Sheep with his brother Anthony Pappas.

Here is the dish on this local establishment, which opened in August after a complete overhaul of the former Bar Louie location:
On the menu: Breakfast, brunch, coffee and pastries.

“All of our pastries are made in-house and fresh on a daily basis from cheesecake to cupcakes to doughnuts to muffins,” said Dionisios Pappas, of Palos Hills.

The Pappas siblings collaborate with chef Matthew Carlson, of Mokena, and pastry chef Rebecca Lombard, of Palos Hills, on the menu.

Dishes include chicken and cornbread waffle featuring a house-battered fried chicken thigh covered in sriracha maple mayo and spicy pickles and sandwiched between a sweet cornbread waffle.
Other selections include chilaquiles featuring tortilla chips tossed in homemade salsa verde and topped with cilantro lime crema, Chihuahua cheese, fresh avocado and an egg of choice.

About the owners: Anthony and Dionisios Pappas also own the Black Sheep, 8888 W. 159th St., Orland Hills. Hours are 11 a.m.-3 a.m. Fridays-Saturdays and 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sundays-Thursdays. Call 708-364-0100 or go to www.facebook.com/theblacksheepop.

A mission statement: Dionisios Pappas said he and his brother hope to provide “a contemporary modern menu for breakfast and brunch with unique items.”
“We’re trying to accomplish a one-stop shop, meaning you can get your coffee, your pastries and your breakfast,” Dionisios Pappas said.
General manager Nicole Paxton added, “It’s basically full-scale bakery meets full-scale Starbucks meets full-scale breakfast place.”
One of the popular dishes at the White Sheep in Orland Park is fruit bruschetta, which features toasted bread topped with a sweet honey glaze, whipped cream cheese, fresh seasonal fruit and a mint garnish.

Decor: “Modern farmhouse chic” is how Dionisios Pappas describes the interior of the White Sheep, which can seat 180 people.

“Our target was to open a breakfast place where we enjoy dining,” said Dionisios Pappas, adding that the restaurant is bright and airy.
Specialties: “We have amazing from-scratch biscuits and gravy. The hash bowls are pretty popular,” said Paxton, who noted that fruit bruschetta and avocado toast as well as doughnuts from the bakery portion of the White Sheep also are ordered often.
“Our chicken tinga on our hangover sandwich is the same chicken tinga we use for our tacos at the Black Sheep. We do tie in a lot of the Black Sheep. Some of our signature cocktails reference the Black Sheep,” she said.
We’re different because: “We roast our own coffee and we make our own blends. We also have a craft cocktail menu,” Dionisios Pappas said.
Paxton from Schererville, Indiana, added, “The coffee is awesome. I really want people to try our signature lattes. A lot of people don’t realize they can stop in the morning and pick up a dozen doughnuts. You can get your doughnuts and delicious coffee to go.”
