Description

Go ahead and drink the Kool-Aid. No, really. The electric-red drink is offered at this Williamsburg restaurant that's imbued with a Southern, cheffy sensibility.

Start with fried Brussels sprouts or smoky Dr. Pepper ribs before tackling calorific entrees like chicken-fried steak that comes wrapped in a whopper of a crust, sinking under the spell of cream gravy, buttery mashed potatoes alongside. Order the flaky buttermilk biscuits and you've got yourself the beige-food trifecta of fattening delights!

Yet at the Brooklyn Star, Joaquin Baca's reopened Williamsburg joint dedicated to highly caloric Southern favorites, you can sample the best of both worlds. Its version fills a cast-iron skillet with soft elbow noodles bathing in a bubbling, creamy Velveeta-and-sharp-white-cheddar sauce, freckled with tiny nubs of bacon, and topped with crunchy...
