Real Urban Barbecue Welcomes Over 40 Local BBQ Professionals

Smoke masters will unite when Jeff Shapiro hosts over 40 local BBQ pitmasters—including Charlie McKenna (Lillie’s Q), Willie Wagner (Honky Tonk BBQ), Gary Wiviott (author of Low & Slow: Master the Art of Barbeque in 5 Easy Lessons), and Dave Raymond and the Sweet Baby Ray’s culinary team—for a “meet-up” at Real Urban Barbecue located at 610 Central Avenue #177 in downtown Highland Park, Monday, January 24

“RUB” shoulders with BBQ royalty as they sample Jeff Shapiro’s award-winning fare.  Amateur BBQ aficionados are welcome to stop by beginning at 7pm to trade tips with the masters and hone their skills at this informal, open-to-the-public gathering.

Since opening in November 2010, Real Urban Barbecue specializes in carry-out, catering orders and dine-in. The mouthwatering menu features homemade BBQ sauce and slow-smoked ribs, pulled pork, turkey, brisket and chicken.
