"Hecky's Barbecue, a suburban Evanston smoked meat landmark, debuted in 1983 and quickly earned legions of loyal fans for ribs, rib tips, chicken, and more. The restaurant used Creole recipes and an aquarium smoker to provide genuine Chicago-style barbecue. The restaurant’s barbecue sauce is sold by the bottle. Hecky's opened a second location on Halsted and Division in 2004, but the Lincoln Park outpost has been closed for years." - Naomi Waxman
