BBQ at Smoque

Matt & Jenn 3.14.2010

After beating up our bodies during the Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration (involving green beer and multiple car bombs), we needed something to fill our stomachs and help us get through the day on Sunday. Matt, his out of town guests, and I headed to Smoque at 3800 N Pulaski to eat some BBQ. This is our second trip to Smoque and it didn’t disappoint. So, how good is Smoque? Well, Guy Fieri from The Food Networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is a fan. But, if that doesn’t entice you to hit up this BBQ hot spot maybe the smell will lure you in.

Our Sunday visit was a perfect time to hit up Smoque with a fairly small crowd as there wasn’t a wait. I will warn you, on any given Friday night there most likely will be a line out the door but it moves quickly and it is so worth the wait.

I went with the ½ and ½ - half pulled pork and ½ shredded brisket sandwich topped with their very flavorful BBQ sauce! I didn’t skip out on the french fries which were perfectly cooked and super yummy. Matt had the pulled pork platter which included two sides – he went with the baked beans and corn bread. Another fabulous choice for a side is their mac and cheese which is baked to perfection. Smoque offers perfectly cooked BBQ dishes (we really need to try their ribs) and was the perfect meal to kick off our Sunday.

Cheers,

Matt and Jenn
