Offset BBQ

Founded by a pair of Chicago restaurant industry veterans who each spent time in the kitchen at Wicker Park barbecue institution Smoke Daddy, Offset BBQ smokes chicken, pork, brisket, ribs and turkey, serving them by the pound or as part of salads, sandwiches and rice bowls. Barbecue purists can order a rack of St. Louis-style ribs or some smoked wings to enjoy, but everyone else should sample dishes like a smoked beef dip sandwich (served with horseradish sauce and au jus for dipping) or the smoked lamb shank, acompanied by tzatziki sauce, pickled red onions and pita bread. Don't skip sides like Very Cheesy Cauliflower (a great mac and cheese substitute) and make sure to ask for a taste of the housemade pineapple Huli Q sauce.
