Briny Swine barbecue from South Carolina to soon open in Chicago - Eater Chicago

"Briny Swine will feature smoked meats, South Carolina oysters, and shrimp. The 200-seater at Lincoln Park will open in early 2023, occupying a space previously held by HopCat beer bar. It offers low country southern flavors, including whole hog barbecue, brisket, shrimp, blue crab, and a wide selection of oysters. The Chicago location will be nearly ten times the size of their Edisto Beach location, allowing for additional menu items like hash and rice, grit puppies, and smoked brisket with pimento cheese. A raw oyster bar and a broad beverage selection, including craft beer and a deep bourbon program, will complement the food. The venue will also host weekly live music featuring jazz, blues, and funk." - Tony Tran
