Located at 70&#160;S. La Grange Road they offer some of the best southern-style barbecue you can get in Illinois. Featured above is today&#8217;s lunch and my personal favorite, the Smoked Pulled Chicken plate which I&#8217;ll usually get with their Mac-Q-Roni and Q Fries. They&#8217;ve definitely taken a page out of the McDonald playbook by naming nearly everything they serve with the Q-Brand. Q-Plates, Q-Combos, Q-Ribs, Q-Sides, Q-Everything. <br/><br/>The chicken delicious. It&#8217;s seasoned in 13 spices and left to smoke for four hours before the sauces even touch it. Oh my god the sauces, from spicy, to sweet and all without corn syrup, starches or preservatives. My favorite is a delicious vinegar-based Memphis-style sauce with hints of brown sugar and 8 other &#8220;top-secret&#8221; spices that give it a mouth-watering sweet yet tangy flavor. The Mac-Q-Roni is a must-have, macaroni noodles in a creamy sauce with 6 different cheeses topped with sharp cheddar cheese and, if I&#8217;m not mistaken, crumbled Cheez-Its. Delicious!</p>http://mochiagogo.com/post/539405108http://mochiagogo.com/post/539405108Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:04:00 -0400savorybbqsubmission<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l177wmzdyM1qbujzgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lookie cookie! This is a dish called “wagon wheels” made with fusilli pasta instead of wagon wheels. The sauce is tomatoes with heavy cream and Italian sausage. And a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
