"Instead of taking your date somewhere expensive in the West Loop where you can show off your credit card limit, go to Green Street Smoked Meats—where you can impress them with how many pounds of brisket you can eat instead. It’s a first-come-first-served BBQ spot in a warehouse-like space if the warehouse were manufacturing twinkle lights and bathtubs filled with beer cans. If your date suggests splitting a Frito pie, you’ve probably found the one." - josh barnett, adrian kane
