20 Restaurants Worth the Drive From Chicago - Eater Chicago

"University of Illinois students already know about Urbana’s glorious meat mecca but for everyone else, rest assured it’s worth a trip down south. Amish free-range turkey, polish sausages, and burnt ends that have been smoked for 24 hours are just a few of the expertly-executed ‘que options. Add an extensive craft beer list and it’s not hard to understand why patrons champ at the bit to get a seat at the small smokehouse." - Jeffy Mai
