Chicago Style Eats - Episode 0128 - Rib Tips

While many things have been influenced by Chicago — such as Blues music, pizza, and architecture — barbecue isn't one of them. When most people think about barbecue styles, there are other places that come to mind first, like Kansas City or the Carolinas or Texas.
