All of Chicago’s Past James Beard Award Winners | Eater Chicago

"Lem’s, a South Side institution, won the 2025 America’s Classic. The small barbecue shack along 75th Street is known for its ribs, rib tips, and links. The restaurant is a family-owned spot that uses an aquarium smoker, one of the most fabled apparatuses in barbecue history." - Naomi Waxman
