While out and about traveling, I have asked Seasoned Tail to document his visits to BBQ restaurants. Here is his latest stop.
Maribeth Knueve from Marten a transport and me ate dinned at the Q BBQ Restaurant in Downtown Chicago Tuesday evening. It was my second time there and the food and service was as good as the first
We ordered the House Bacon Cheddar Hush Puppies. Done to perfection. For dinner Maribeth ordered Pulled Chicken and coleslaw. The checked was moist with the appropriate touch of smoke. She also ordered Brûlée Mac n Cheese. Top was wonderful, the bottom good but average.
I ordered the q3, three meats, ribs, sliced brisket, and pulled pork. The ribs were as good as it gets. Can only imagine how good her 'competition' ribs on the menu would be. The pulled pork was excellent with a slight taste of vinegar. The sliced brisket was moist and tender. For a Texan it could have had a stronger smoke flavor.
The meals were sized to be comfortably full.
Lee Ann Whippen has transformed a Chicago eating establishment into an upscale Chicago BBQ restaurant that has the very distinct feeling of warm Southern atmosphere with down home cooking and a staff that cares and obviously enjoy working for her. This will not be my last trip to the Q.
