Thrillist named Dragon Ranch Moonshine & BBQ among Chi’s Top Ten restaurant spots from June.
From the article
Karate-kick things off with jack/white & yellow cheddar/gouda Pimento Spread w/ Sriracha-pickled Fresno peppers and togarashi aioli; a hash of both Japanese & American sweet potatoes w/ chiles, edamame, and a fried duck egg; or that same duck egg wrapped in sausage and deep fried (a Dragon Egg), usually a precursor to the game of sitting on a throne. Pork shoulders are rubbed with spices from both continents and smoked for 12hrs over oak, hickory ‘n cherry, and sandwiches include a BLTB laden with a double helping of house-cured bacon plus more togarshi aioli, but don’t forget sides like brown sugar- & bourbon-glazed carrots that’re finished off with sesame seeds and a fish sauce that’s been aged in bourbon barrels, probably provided by Jim Bream.
