Here's the next stop on our quest for Chicago's best BBQ: Chicago q
Walking up to Chicago q we immediately
sensed this wasn’t your neighborhood barbecue joint. The trendy little
restaurant on Dearborn Street is all urban barbecue. Fun atmosphere. Cool vibe.
Friendly staff.
And literally the best food we’ve consumed yet
in Chicago. I’m not kidding. It’s no wonder with Lee Ann Whippen as the chef
and partner at the restaurant. Scott was a bit star-struck when he discovered
Whippen was the owner and chef. (She has appeared on Food Network’s Bobby
Flay’s Throwdown and TLC’s BBQPitmasters series.)
We visited Chicago q for a recent Sunday
brunch and tasted pretty much everything barbecue on the menu. Food you must
order if you go: Kobe brisket, chicken wings (which are marinated and smoked
not fried) and espresso ice cream covered in peanut brittle, which I have no
words to describe.
Chicago q earns 4 MacKaben stars.
