I can't say enough good things about this barbeque restaurant. I suspect that they are reader's of this site. You can properly use the word gourmet in describing their menu. The most varied, experimental, and interesting barbeque in, dare I say it (say it, say it), the USA. It's been open for years and they have a cooking school. I only recently bothered to pull into their oddly situated parking lot and now rue all the time that I hadn't eaten there.
They seem to have a theme of a southern joint and play metal music. My suggestion to them is that when you are the king of the hill, lose the kitschy themes. This is Chicago. Play blues.

Cocktails: Alton Brown turned me onto boulevardiers. That has become my travel cocktail. At home it is usually spiced rum, vodka, or whisky mixed with ginger ale.
Planning on a DIY smoker. **Those plans got scrapped. Between the PBC and the SnS, a DIY smoker project has moved way down the list. Now I want to build an Argentinian style grill!

No restrictions with me (love meats, cheese, veggies, etc...) however a friend I often cook with has celiac so I avoid gluten in my cooking. (PS. Stone delicious is a gluten reduced beer that he highly recommends )
I could be mistaken but I believe in the BBQ Stars video with Meathead there are two guests from the Chicago Culinary institute and they prepare a pork prochetta. I have made this recipe and it is definetly a winner.
