Smoque

In case you didn't know, I am a HUGE BBQ Rib fan. (I know, Ribfest is in Naperville this week)

A new rib place in my current hood of Old Irving Park just opened and it is awesome.
SMOQUE at 3800 N. Pulaski, about 1 block south of Irving Park and the Kennedy.
Just like their tagline says, they are "not just another pretty sauce." They serve Baby Back and St. Louis-Style ribs. For the indecisive, I recommend the combo. I mentioned it to the guy who cuts my hair (nowhere near where I live), and he said "that place is no joke."
The president of my company went there on my reco, and he stopped by my office calling the brisket outstanding.

I put it right up there with Gale Street Inn, and give it 5 bones.
