Peace, Love & Barbecue is 17th Street BBQ’s newest original series, taking viewers to the place where it all began. From brisket to whole hogs, from Apple City to the Big Apple, this is a look at the Mike Mills legacy, and the BBQ Family who’s taking the good news throughout the world—one hog at a time!
This is a Travel Channel-esque series, but available on the web. The first episode is embedded above and all 6 episodes are available here.
Green Street Smoked Meat! This is seriously my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. It’s like they built a rock and roll BBQ joint just for me. It’s loud, dark and delicious. Go for the strong cocktails (my fave is the Oaxacan Old Fashioned – made with mezcal) and delicious food (the brisket is on point, delicious pulled pork, beef ribs, frito pie!!!, hot links, pork belly, baked beans, mac salad and soft serve), and the rock and roll. The service staff is awesome too. I put my seal of approval on it. When it eventually stops being winter in Chicago let’s meet in the alley for after work drinks and awesome food.
I don’t know anything about the barbecue, but these photos alone make me want to visit Green Street Smoked Meats, a barbecue joint in Chicago.
