[You Spoke] [Our Pits] [Que Man's Menu]

You Spoke, We Listened....

Many of you see us cooking our signature Que every Wednesday Afternoon CBS News At Noon Show. While others got turned on to The BarBeQue™ Man's Gospel of Smoke by tuning into our long-running television cooking series Culinary Adventures. And, others have seen us grilling and smoking on various television cooking shows or heard us preaching our poop about barbecue on the radio as well. The common question posed to us is how can we taste some of that Que people have been raving about? "You know BarBeQue Man™ Smellavision hasn't been invented yet!" I know my brothers and sisters, the answer you seek is right here! That's correct! The BarBeQue Man™ Catering Services has your hook-up. The exact same Signature Que we have prepared for Chicago Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith and his coaching staff along with many other Celebrities & Personalities as well as the countless happy customers and corporate clients we have served, is available to you, our many fans, followers and worshipers.

Our very popular tried and true items are available on our menu permanently. However, if you would like us to cook up something special for you in our pits just ask. It's no problem! Since we do work one on one with you we can tailor our menu to your needs. Some of you may have or maybe one of your friends or family members is on a restricted diet, we fully understand and we will work with you to cater our menu to fit your needs, such as low-sodium or low-sugar items. Lets face it some barbecue rubs and sauces contain a lot of sodium or sugars, no problem, just let us know and we will do our very best to make adjustments to our recipes so that our BBQ fits your dietary requirements. And, believe me when I say "I know" I lost over 120 pounds by adjusting recipes for My BBQ intake. ALL of our BarBeQue Man™ Micro-Que'd Gourmet Bar-B-Q Sauce recipes were naturally formulated using less sugar (we use pure cane sugar and molasses so it tastes as sweet as our competitor's products who use high fructose corn syrup, a cheaper sweetener) and less sodium. In many cases we use half as much sugar and sodium per serving as they do! Here's a trade secret the competition won't tell you, the buying public; sweeteners and salt are two of the cheapest ingredients you put in a BBQ sauce. However, our sauces use at least 20 unique spices and herbs per recipe unlike the national brands cluttering the grocery store shelves!! And our Bar-B-Que recipes are the same as they always have been and will always remain the same great recipes! However, we can fix our signature BBQ to fit your healthy lifestyle if you desire. Not to worry....

ALL of our meats are injected and marinated with the BarBeQue Man™ secret special marinade and then rubbed with our special Gerber Family spice blend which has been around for three generations. They happen to be the exact original recipes my Dad and Papa Dave my Grandpa used at their butcher shops on the Southside of Chicago at 38th and State and 63rd and Dorchester. IN FACT, THEY WERE FAT-FREE THEN AND NOW, MORE THAN 60 YEARS LATER, THEY ARE STILL FAT-FREE!! The next step is crucial, we place the spiced-up meats in the refrigerator for three whole days. After seventy-two hours we then slow smoke our quality meats for hours over smoldering hardwood or fruitwood. We give you the option, serve it dry (not glazed with sauce) with sauce served on the side, serve it wet (with the sauce applied generously) to our meats or serve it glazed (with the sauce mopped onto the meat) during the last few minutes of cooking time. The choice is yours, all of our barbecued meats and birds come with our BarBeQue Man™ Micro-Que'd Gourmet Bar-B-Q Sauces as part of the catering package, but keep in mind, our barbecue is great without the sauce! However our BarBeQue Man™ Micro-Que'd Gourmet Bar-B-Q Sauces are super! None of our meats are boiled, par-boiled, steamed or roasted, we do all of our ribs, birds and larger cuts low and slow, the genuine time-honored way Bar-B-Q is supposed to be fixed. We prepare our Que for you the very same exact way we prepare it for a barbecue competition. And we have earned many awards for our great slow-smoked Que, we don't fool around! When we say "Great Que Takes Time, It Cannot Be Rushed"™, we mean every word of it. We know you will agree!

From Our Pit to Your Lips....

Many folks think the sauce is the main component to barbecue. That is partially correct however if you don't cook the meat and poultry the way it's supposed to be cooked no sauce on this planet will make that carcass taste like genuine bar-b-que. We take great pride in knowing how to correctly marinate our choice cuts of meat and moist plump birds, then and only then do we spice them up with the best rub on the market. From there we let the spice rub and the marinade mingle with our pals in the fridge for seventy-two hours. After three days of getting acquainted we finally place the meat and birds in our barbecue pit and slow-smoke em' for hours, you got it, we cook with charcoal and wood! During this traditional time-honored method of cooking Que we mop the meat and birds with our secret flavoring basting liquid, when magically it is transformed into the best tasting genuine barbecue found in the Chicagoland area and probably in the whole Midwest. The final step, if you like us to, is brushing our BarBeQue Man™ Micro-Que'd Gourmet Bar-B-Q Sauces onto the finished product.
