"Once inside, try the brisket enchilada, gumbo or JP's Revenge---pit-smoked ham smothered in smoked Gouda with onion marmalade and Slows' mustard sauce." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Mmm, slow-cooked southern-style barbecue in Corktown. Carnivores can carve into the three-meat combo plate (brisket, pulled pork and chicken). Vegetarians even have a couple of options." Full review
