- Gnawable spare ribs and pulled pork you can also get on a “sando”
Squirrel eater Mike Sula reviews Dragon Ranch Moonshine & BBQ, the latest River North production from Billy Dec (Rockit Bar & Grill, Sunda, Twitter). Somewhat surprisingly, barbecue makes up only about a quarter of the menu, which also features a commendable tonkotsu ramen with house-made noodles and a couple items—the BLTB “sando,” the four-cheese mac ‘n’ cheese, a supersized s’more—worth coming back for. The smoked meats themselves “aren’t too bad in general,” but the $12-$14 cocktails, many moonshine based and served in mason jars, bear incongruously precious names like the Honey Bunny—care for one of those with a “niblet” (aka appetizer)?
