Bell Heir's BBQ

Here’s what to eat at Bell Heir’s BBQ in Bronzeville | Eater Chicago

"In Canaryville, Tyris Bell—who previously worked alongside his brother Darnell Reed at Lincoln Square’s Luella’s Southern Kitchen—runs a compact, confident barbecue spot that fires up smokers as soon as spring temperatures arrive. The succinct menu centers on smoked brisket and rib tips smothered in a traditional Chicago sticky, smoky sauce; the brisket is highlighted as an ideal upgrade to mac and cheese and is even added to the cheeseburger. Despite a short roster of offerings, the food is described as punchy and flavorful, and the operation has a relaxed, neighborhood feel, open from noon to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday." - Ashok Selvam
