Sexy Rx: Moonshine and Meat at Lillie's Q

My dad's parents are straight from the hills of West Virginia. My great uncle actually ran a still during prohibition and another great uncle gave my dad a bottle of his own branded moonshine at our last family gathering. I had a reason to be terrified of this little travel size jelly jar. In the end, I actually found myself sipping the moonshine, because it was, well, good! It was very smooth and tasted a little like vanilla. I highly recommed taking a sip followed by a bit of sauce drenched pulled pork. The pairing is eye-opening. Look out for a moonshine cocktail menu very soon!
It’s Friday night, you just got paid.  And, if you’re single, it’s time to get…a Sexy Rx!  It’s a special perscription for that very intimate case of the blues… This week, we did some road research at Lillie’s Q, a brand new BBQ joint in Bucktown.  Hit the jump and get your sexy on.

Let’s look past the fact that Brad... Read more »
