I saw an advertisement for a place in Chicago that served North Carolina-style BBQ; does anybody have info on which restaurant this is? It's next to impossible to find that kind of BBQ this far north.
While I'm here I gotta put in my plug for the Ribfest in Naperville over July 4th. It will not disappoint, and offers many non-Rib alternatives if that is your thing. You can find more details at
