Learn all about BBQ - from nose to tail, sausage to brisket - and sample which local beers 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 Beer Experience. But we don't stop there; CCK can customize private events, host exclusive "in the pit" experiences, and offers catering.

There's love in the air...or is it smoke? Well, yeah, it's definitely smoke. We love smoke. In fact, we're so comfortable with smoke that it's become a part of our very souls! We smoke meat, we smoke beans, we even smoked a beer! We've got so much smoke it's literally spilling out of the building! If you need a reprieve from the smoke outside, make your way inside to enjoy a whole array of culinary delights this weekend:

Friday: Bleu's Burger will be an extremely rich 10oz Brisket Burger stuffed with copious amounts of Bleu Cheese & topped with Steakhouse Bacon on a toasted Onion Brioche Bun. We'll also have Pastrami, Maple Bourbon Smoked Salmon, Tamales, The Super Katz, Turkey, & more Fri-Sun while supplies last!

Saturday: The Pastrami Rib is back by popular demand and it'll be a MASSIVE Pastrami-fied Beef Short Rib that'll start curing Monday so that Pastrami-ness is infused into every bite! Our dessert special for Saturday AND Sunday will be our classic Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie! AND you can catch CCK Mobile @ the Palatine High School Summer Track Meet from 11am-2pm or sell-out!

Sunday: Pork Chilaquiles are gonna be an absolute mess of Salsa Verde-soaked Tortilla Chips covered in Pulled Pork, Pickled Onion, Cotija, Cilantro, & a Fried Egg.

We've got a few seats left for our BBQ & Beer event featuring Roaring Table Brewery with our Smoked Helles Lager collab on July 23rd Tickets & info @ www.chicagoculinarykitchen.com/events

Sunday’s special Brisket Bagel is a little…naughty. It’s a freshly baked & tallow-toasted Sesame Bagel loaded with Brisket, a Hash Brown Patty, American Cheese, Giardiniera Cream Cheese, & a Fried Egg. If this doesn’t give you a reason to skip breakfast and hold out til we open at 11am on Sunday, we don’t know what would.

Feeling cute? Maybe pair it with a Bacon Bloody. IDK 🤷‍♂️
