In addition to catering, Chicago Smoke supplies smoky delights to several Chicago-area restaurants who know that Chicago Smoke just does it better. Relying on pure wood cooking with ties to Southern traditions of fine BBQ, Chicago Smoke's meat is cooked low and slow over pure hickory wood, tempered with spices and seasonings as it cooks.

Catering events from 25 to 2,500, you can have your pick of entrees (barbecue pork, chicken, ribs and beef brisket), sides (Chicago-style baked beans, coleslaw, mashed sweet potatoes with nuts, red beans and rice and more) and desserts (bread pudding and apple, sweet potato and chocolate pecan pie).

Average cost: $10-$20
