One Great Sandwich: Honky Tonk BBQ's Beef Brisket

2008_05_01_sammich.jpgWe've long thought that barbecue is going to be the next big trend in Chicago dining, largely on the rise of places like Smoque, Risque Café, Honey 1 and Honky Tonk. We've covered Honky Tonk before, and still cannot get enough of Willie Wagner's beef brisket sandwich. The meat is tender, juicy beyond belief, and seeped in applewood, which is Wagner's wood of choice for smoking his meats.

Honky Tonk's beef brisket is perfectly complemented by a simple side of horseradish. Not bad for a company that got started making the rounds of the street fair circuit.

Honky tonk BBQ is open Thursday through Sunday.
