Christen the start of summer with Chicago’s best BBQ

Eat: Feast on Texas-style ‘cue — like sliced brisket sandwiches, Texas sausage, and brisket tacos — at Smoque. Eat: Take a modern meaty approach with brisket gougeres, gilled pork chops, and smoked duck with grilled cornbread at Flat & Point. Eat: Go old-school at Honey 1 BBQ, for rib tips and chicken cooked in glass-walled aquarium smokers.
