Smoque BBQ - Chicago, IL —
My hubby saw this joint on Guy Fieri's show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on The Food Network and told me we were going - oh joy. I only eat red meat every couple of months so I guess this will be a red meat meal!
So, we went last Thurs around 1:30 thinking we could beat the "lunch rush" - ha, nope, we were wrong - we got the last available table!
I had the half sliced brisket plate with coleslaw and baked beans - everyting was seriously great! The brisket wasn't doused with BBQ it was just enough to flavor it and not drip down your arm like some places. Hubbie had brisket platter with fries and beans and added on ribs. He loved the brisket but, is still raving about the ribs - he will be geting just ribs next time we go!
Smoque had a line out the door by the time we were done with our lunch! Call ahead or go at non-meal times. Smoque is worth the trip!
