Lillie's Q Smoky (Chicago)
James Beard-recognized. Smoked sugar and vinegar perfection.
Chef Charlie McKenna’s sauce uses smoked sugar and a vinegar finish to mimic a hickory fire’s flavor in just 90 seconds of glazing. It earned a James Beard Foundation nod for its terroir-driven profile, making ribs taste like slow-cooked pit master magic. The sauce’s unique synthesis of regional styles ensures a balanced heat and sweetness, ideal for pairing with pork or chicken.
