James Beard Foundation Awards 2025: Winners, News, and Updates | Eater

"I described Lem’s Bar-B-Q as a cornerstone of Chicago’s culinary community with a 70-year legacy, started by brothers Myles and Bruce Lemons in 1954 (joined by brother James B. Lemons in 1968), where James’s youngest daughter Carmen, longtime friend Lynn, and nephews Billy and Kameron continue the family tradition serving rib tips and hot links flavored with hickory wood, charcoal, and fire on an eclectic aquarium-style barbecue pit." - Eater Staff
