I finally some ribs from Goodstuff Eats that I got at a farmer’s market a few months ago and they are incredible. They came vacuumed sealed, so I was able to keep them in the freezer until I’m ready to make them. The owner, Gustav, was so helpful at the market and told me exactly what I needed to do to reheat the ribs. I used their seasonal blueberry bbq sauce (the best of all their flavors imo). At the farmers market, they were also selling artisan grilled cheeses that you could add some of their meats to. I tried them and they were to die for. You can’t go wrong with anything from goodstuff! Edited to Add: the process was super easy. I just wrapped the ribs in some tin foil, put them on a cooking sheet and added a little bit of moisture , and baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Absolutely AMAZING bbq. I usually grab some sliced smoke turkey as my go to. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork is so good. I also grab a four pack of sauces as well, which he has that is seasonal as well. I think he changed up the jerky, grabbed a couple of bags and I must say he has listened to the reviews. It’s getting addicting and I’m good with it 🙂

What a find! BBQ on point with any top BBQ place around. Food was delicious. Service was great. Owner, Gustav, made the experience perfect. At first, I was worried, cause they were out of a lot of items, but every single thing I ate was delicious. I'll be back. Please support a new and up-and-coming restaurant.

GoodStuff Eats BBQ was SmackaLackin! Had the Brisket and Rib Tips both amazing. Also tried the smoked mango and smoked sweet potato. Do yourself a favor and get down to Wicker Park to get some. They share the building with Cracked and open after Cracked closes.
