whole piece disintegrate into nothing before it even touches your mouth. The sauce tasted like generic BBQ sauce that they poured in vinegar and mustard. It was nothing interesting or spectacular. The brisket chili was horrible. It was watery, no flavor, not enough salt, the beans were too mushy, and the brisket was non-existent in it. The cornbread was not good. It was not sweet, it was not savory, and it had no corn flavor. And the coleslaw tasted like pure apple cider vinegar and that's it. The vinegar was so harsh that any flavor or spice they put into that coleslaw was just obliterated by the vinegar. Then we moved to the Rib Combo. This combo was good except for the coleslaw and the baby back ribs. The baby back ribs were okay. They weren't the best ribs I have ever made nor were they the worst. There could have been more seasoning on it, more smoke, and it was overcooked. People think that ribs are the best when it falls off the bone, but to me that's wrong. The meat shoul
d be tender but when you take a bite out of the rib, the rest of the meat should still stick on the bone. That's exactly what the St. Louis ribs did. This was the highlight of the entire meal. These ribs were really good. It was nicely seasoned, you could taste the smoke, and it was perfectly cooked. This platter also had the 2 best sides as well. The BBQ beans were good, but it was just a little too sweet. It could have used more vinegar and mustard to cut down that sweetness. The Mac & Cheese was good as well. It was creamy, cheesy, and rich, just like how every Mac & Cheese should be. The panko topping on top added the crunch the Mac & Cheese needed The Texas sausage was also really good. It was nicely seasoned and had that great snap to it. This is a must get as well. However, the dessert was a huge failure. They were stone cold and did not have that wow factor that desserts have. The peach cobbler was just completely one note. The crunch on top was soggy, the peaches in syrup s
hould have been bubbling so create that warmness in peach cobbler, and there was no pastry base to it. It was more of a crumble then a cobbler. The bread pudding was so dense, heavy, and dry. It needed more of that pecan caramel topping on it. The topping was actually pretty good. It added that necessary crunch to the bread pudding. For almost $20 per person, Smoque was not worth it. It was way over hyped for what it was worth. Maybe they were having an off day or maybe Guy just got it completely wrong, but this was definitely not a place where I had to check out in Chicago. Overall this whole meal could be summed up in one word. Disappointing. Now THIS is
