Chicago Culinary Kitchen A unique Texas-style BBQ Restaurant & Bar open Wednesday-Sunday for lunch & dinner. We will rock you! Our unique cooking classes rock!
(1771)

Learn all about BBQ - from nose to tail, sausage to brisket - and sample which local b**rs pair best with which cuts as owners Greg & Kristina Gaarbdo share their pitmaster secrets. Classes include Meat Church, Bi***es That Barbeque, and the Complete BBQ & Craft B**r Experience. But we don't stop there; CCK can customize private events, host exclusive "in the pit" experiences, and offers catering. Bachelor/ette parties, sports teams, office functions, school fundraisers, alumni events, or the Superbowl all get a dose of CCK leaving well fed with BBQ & b**r expertise unlike any other!

Sorry for the delay friends - it’s been a busy, busy morning! But we’re still taking the time to jam some amazing flavors in front of your eyes...like this incredible Pork Fried Rice Burrito!

It’s a game-changing combination of ADOBO-marinated, smoked, & braised Pork Shoulder with a Mexican-style Fried Rice, Honey-Sriracha Aioli, & a Fried Egg inside a giant grilled Flour Tortilla.

And if it doesn’t satisfy your hunger on a frigid day like this, maybe you have a tape worm? If so, better get that checked out. If not, run on over here before it runs out!

We’ve also got plenty of Brisket, Ribs, Burgers, & more!

We’re open ‘til 8pm tonight & you can order online @ www.chicagoculinarykitchen.com until 7:30pm!

See you soon 😉

"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook." Julia Child

The holidays are rapidly approaching, and that means sweater weather, stretchy pants, & comfort food. We've put together quite the lineup of the latter this week, & we're confident you'll agree!

Wednesday: Happy Honey Shrimp Tacos are a simple pleasure with crispy Breaded Shrimp, Honey Aioli, & Slaw on grilled Corn Tortillas! AND tune in to ABC-7 around 7:45am for helpful Thanksgiving Turkey Tips courtesy of your favorite Special Ops Manager ;-)

Thursday: The Adobe Pork Fried Rice Burrito is truly a gift to behold - loaded with a special blend of Adobe-marinate, smoked, & braised Pork Shoulder mixed with our life-changing Mexican-style Fried Rice all wrapped up in a large grilled Flour Tortilla. You're about to have your mouth rocked!

Friday: The Cubano Romano is a script-flip on one of our most classic specials combining Mojo-marinated, smoked, & braised Pork, Smoked Ham, Swiss, Pickles, & Cuban Mustard stuffed between two slices of the extra special Schiacciata Bread from Fix Sandwich Shop in Barrington! We'll also have Smoked Turkey, Pastrami, The Super Katz, Salmon, Tamales, & more Fri-Sun while supplies last!

Saturday: a Smoked Chicken Pot Pie shouldn't need much introduction but it'll be an absolute stunner with Smoked Chicken Thighs smothered in our homemade Chicken Gravy with Peas & Carrots tucked inside a crispy, buttery Pot Pie Crust. AND we'll be rolling the Food Truck over to Harper College from 11am-1pm for the Chicagoland Auto Fair! More details to come...

Sunday: Briskits & Gravy is another banger complete with our homemade Big Boy Biscuits covered in our homemade Brisket Gravy with a perfectly Fried Egg to tie the room together!
