Summertime is upon us!  Thank God!  You know what that means in Chicago, right?  Streetfests!  Yup, Chicagoans loooooove their street festivals.  I mean… what’s not to love?  Food and drink and music and happy people… It’s a beautiful thing.

So you wanna know where to get some fab ribs in the city?  Here are the winners from the festival:

From the Judges:

1st Place:  Rub BBQ Company

2nd Place:  Pitchfork

3rd Place:  Real Urban BBQ

People Choice Award:

1st Place:  Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro

2nd Place:  Real Urban BBQ

(My 2 cents:  Smoke Daddy wasn’t too shabby either!)

There’s way more to come all summer long including my personal favorite, Taste of Randolph, next weekend.
