Clara B’s Kitchen Table

Clara B’s Kitchen Table is a new brunch concept in Belleville, Illinois. It specializes in Southern-style comfort food. The concept was created by Jodie Ferguson, who grew up in Austin, Texas. It takes its name from Ferguson’s grandmother, who was the primary cook in Ferguson’s family.

Clara B’s was originally a food truck that opened in October of 2020. The name was inspired by Ferguson’s grandmother, Clara Bloodworth. The original location is next to Ben’s and Crafty Sugar Co. The building was previously home to Sugar Fix Bakery, which Ferguson took over after a lease expires.
