Silverline, that's really cool. I grew up just across the river in Illinois and it gives me immense pride to know that midwestern barbecue is appreciated that much! Whenever I go home to visit my folks, I always end up having at least one meal at my favorite barbecue restaurant:http://www.17thstreetbarbecue.com/index.htm They live in a town of 10,000 but this restaurant was Bon Apetit Magazine's top choice for barbecue. So many good places to try in the midwest barbecue belt. I'll have to try Kurzweil's next time I'm out that way!
