Barbecue restaurant · Avondale

"Soul & Smoke has a familiar story: a catering business designed for events buys a food truck. But now this outstanding barbecue spot in Evanston has (along with a food truck) a riverfront spot in Avondale. And not only are the meaty brisket and ribs incredible, but the sides (like creamy mac and cheese, cornbread muffins, and spicy baked beans) are all just as great as the meat." - adrian kane, john ringor
