Celebrate the first weekend of autumn this Saturday at the second annual "Rib-A-Que" at Moonshine. The event is co-hosted by Socca and will feature 16 Chicago restaurants and as well as "award-winning amateurs." Who? Winners of the Memphis BBQ contest, for example. You will be the judging the competitors along with The Drunken Goat's Stephanie Izard and the Dean of Culinary Arts at Kendall College, Chris Koetke. And it wouldn't be a BBQ without drink deals on Jack Daniels. Well, er, Jack Daniel’s Lynchburg Lemonade and Downhome Punch to be exact. (What about just straight up JD?) At least there will be specials on beer as well. Tickets are $25 in advance (www.ticketweb.com or calling Moonshine at 773.862.8686) or $35 at the door. Moonshine is located at 1824 W. Division St. more ›
