Restaurant guide

#TBT Still one of my favorites!

The restaurant was completely SLAMMED yesterday from the moment we opened until we closed. Thanks to my team for working their asses off! My body was in so much pain but coming home to this little guy made all of my pain fade away! I can't think of a better way to end my day!

#TBT Lawd Ham Mercy Beans on WGN Lunchbreak.

In addition to our regular BBQ menu we will be offering the following: Muffuletta and Shrimp Po Boy Sammiches, Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya, Gumbo and of course Shrimp and Grits. We'll also have Hurricane Drink Specials All Day Long! If you've attended this event in the past you know how crazy it gets in here! So come in early or place your orders in advance by calling (847) 473-5333. Ask for Katie.

We just had a new customer come in and said the food was so good that he would eat our dirty napkins! I'm dying ova here!!!

Punch cards are back! Make sure you get yurn punched with your purchase!

It's been a crazy weekend so the wife and i decided to go out and have something local and delicious. John Durning I'm in the building baby what's crackin!

So I had a catering order today and the customer ordered eighteen ponds of burnt ends leaving me with extra brisket. So we will be offering a brisket sammich, fry and drank for $9.99 all day! Or until we run out of brisket!

Happy birthday to my oldest grandson DJ! Paw Paw loves you to the moon and back!

#TBT 10 years ago my man JMack helped put us on the map with this video. I'm forever grateful for everything you've done for me ever the years but I'm most grateful to call you my friend. Love you boy! We still look the same. Just a little more grey. and check out the cleaver skills!

My people from the North Chicago might remember this! I made a giant Hoagy for lunch today. Shout out to The Home of The Hoagy. It's about to go down!

Out with the old and in with the new! Thanks to Grubbs Mechanical, TSR Concrete Coatings and an extra special thanks Federal Supply USA and Ethan Linderman from Performance Food Group for ALWAYS supporting me and having my back! I think I might add the logo.....What do you think?

Your order is ready sir!

These are the amazing women behind Big Ed's BBQ! Katie, Rhonda and Kim.

Yeah we open today!

So tomorrow my walk in cooler is being dismantled to make way for a bigger one and we're closed all next week so all of my inventory has to go today. So I was thinking, whoever comes in and dines with us during the Bears game and purchases a meal can take home a FREE DINNER at the end of the game! Come watch the Bears beat the bird shit out of the eagles and take home some Q to celebrate the win! We'll also do some drink specials during the game. LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!

Here is the video from our 10 year anniversary. Special thanks to George P. Foster and XLC for providing the video and my man Jace shooting his piece and putting the whole thing together.

My man Jace came through and captured who we are as a business. This is by far the best video we have done so far! Thanks to everyone that participated. I can't wait to work with Jace again on some new projects. Please share this video with your family and friends.

My staff and I would love to say Thank You for all of your support over the years and we'd like give someone a chance to win a special prize!

Y'all meet Ms. Turner. She is the newest spokesperson advertising for Big Ed's BBQ on 1023 XLC. She's old, sweet and dear to my heart. She may show up at our 10 year celebration. Pray for us
