| - New location, same top quality. Finally made it in to the new place; had an Italian Beef with greens and baked beans, plus an order of fried okra. The Italian Beef is a slight variation on the Chicago standard--it's sliced brisket rather than shredded, stewed meat, but the flavors are amazing. I go back and forth between the hot and mild giard. Beans were good, mixed with little chunks of meat, collards were very lemony, which is slightly different than before, but no complaints from me.
The okra was amazing. Quickly deep-fried with a light cornmeal batter, tons of okra taste and even a little slime in the seeds (for the uninitiated, this is a very good thing).
One of my favorite places for a serious meal. It's a block from the bike path, so it's easy to pig out on BBQ and then go burn it off.
