Get Ready For Windy City Smokeout!
Windy City Smokeout is quite possibly my favorite Chicago festival. With barbecue from all over the country and some of the hottest country music acts, it's one big party. I don't know if it's because it's new or they do a fantastic job of managing ticket availability but my favorite thing about Smokeout is that it doesn't get overly crowded. Thanks to the amazing team at Windy City Smokeout, I'll be enjoying the festival for the 2nd year in a row with complimentary passes. Hopefully I will see you there!

Friday night kicks off with headliners like Jessie James Decker, Phil Vassar and Chase Rice. I am personally excited to see Jessie James Decker. Saturday continues with acts like Billy Currington and Big & Rich who I am also a huge fan of. Sunday finishes strong with Maren Morris, Corey Smithe and Old Dominion. So whether you are only going one day or stopping by all three days, you'll enjoy a treat of fantastic music and even better food.
Last year, a few of my favorite bites at Windy City Smokeout included the Pulled Pork Sundae from Chicago Q, Memphis Walking Taco from Lillie's and the BBQ Nachos from Bub City. Last year I was only able to attend the festival for 2 days but this year I'll be there all 3 so you can bet I will be trying as many restaurants as I possibly can.
