After a lifetime of running Chicago's finest restaurants, Jeff Shapiro brings his passion to life! Jeff has had a lifelong obsession for the best foods, and ultimately, the best BBQ. This led him to travel the Midwest, the Carolinas, Kansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. He also hit the competitive BBQ circuit, known as Dr. Deckle & Mr. Hide. After winning a few trophies and gaining recognition, it was time to open a real restaurant where everyone could enjoy the flavors. The journey continues right here, where Jeff is sharing his love of the craft with you! It is his commitment every day to bring food lovers all over Chicagoland the best "Real Urban Barbecue."
