- Half slab, Bro-N-Laws Bar-B-Que
Which do you want first—the good news or the bad news? I wouldn’t be the self-flagellating grump I am if I didn’t seek out whatever new barbecue joints have popped up from month to month. So it’s time to catch up with two newer entrants into the field, and an older one that only recently pinged on my bar-b-dar.

- Pulled pork, Husky Hog Bar-B-Que
Husky Hog Bar-B-Que graduated from a food truck to a small corner spot in Bridgeport with a few picnic tables inside and a small kitchen dominated by a Southern Pride offset smoker, which, when I visited, wasn’t giving off even a hint of aroma. Husky Hog smokes a trinity of pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket, only smoking ribs on weekends or by special order. I’ve always argued that this sort of dilettantism rarely leads to anything good, and everything on my sampler platter supported my case.

It was a real achievement: engraving itself in my memory as the worst barbecue I’ve ever eaten in Chicago. Until next time, anyway.
