A&J Chicago-Style Bar-B-Q

Chi-town's not just the home of the "Louis Vuitton Don" Kanye West and the 2005 World Series champion White Sox, it also boasts some of the best 'cue in the U.S. Fortunately, A & J has been cookin' up the ribs, hot links, and rib tips Chi-town-style now for some 20 years-plus. So, you can save on plane fare to the Windy City by checking out this no-frills, family-run operation where the main attraction is the glassed-in barbecue pit and the savory meats it produces. Watch out, though: You may need Kanye's "New Workout Plan" after pigging out here.
