Celebrate Juneteenth at Black-owned restaurants in Chicago and the suburbs, including Virtue, Brown Sugar Bakery and Bronzeville Winery.
One of the oldest continuously operating barbecue spots in Chicago is still one of the best. Brothers Bruce and Myles Lemons founded Lem’s Bar-B-Q in 1954, eventually bringing in younger brother James, who helped to open the 75th Street location in 1968 that remains open to this day. Rib tips and an intensely seasoned sauce can’t be missed.
Virtue chef-owner Erick Williams became the first Black chef to win the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes last year, and chef de cuisine Damarr Brown took home the Emerging Chef medal last month. The restaurant focuses on Southern food by way of the Great Migration, with dishes including blackened catfish with barbecue carrots, biscuits with pimento cheese and pineapple upside down cake.
Marking its 40th anniversary this year, Hecky’s has been an Evanston mainstay for generations. Rib tips have long been a fan favorite , and while the restaurant will be closed Monday in celebration of Juneteenth, it’s worth a visit any time of the year.Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice Cream, 46 E. 47th St. in the Bronzeville neighborhood on Feb. 11, 2021.
With locations in Evanston, Avondale and the West Loop, chef D’Andre Carter has earned a loyal following for his St. Louis-style barbecue.
