What Exactly IS Chicago BBQ? | Saucy Smoked Rib Tips Recipe

[@morningandafternoonsun]

As a south sider from Chicago thank you for showing respect to the tradition and process. You went above and beyond your responsibility to make this video. Showing the cut to those who’s are into that, to process of cooking to plate even the white bread. That’s nothing but respect. We love our tips on the south side it’s s unique chicago south side thing.

[@AdamWitt]

Yo. Just seeing this. Thank you dude. Glad you feel that way and happy to shed light on such an old, dope BBQ tradition.

[@boogitybear2283]

Don’t forget the Hot Link Sausages!

[@timothyfavorite1875]

I live in Texas and I'm all about Texas style BBQ, but that looked fabulous. I think Chicago is the greatest food city in America.

[@CarloVillagracia]

I be telling people here in Illinois. We’re lucky to have Chicago. I got it for sure top 5 food scene in US . Can Basically find any type of food really damn good 9/10 stuff

[@freeagentxms]

The bbq looks great! I don't know though, I can't get behind chicago pizza, pan or thin, they just can't do pizza.

[@NikoBellaKhouf2]

Chicago is great for two things: museums and restaurants. That's pretty much it

[@NikoBellaKhouf2]

​@@freeagentxmswe have four different styles of pizza and they're all great

[@christineburrell88]

Facts

[@knoxavebbq]

That was so much fun to watch! And I’ve honestly been thinking about those rib tips ever since we did them. No joke, the best rib tips I’ve had.

[@boogitybear2283]

Chicago needs to be recognized more for their BBQ than their pizza and hot dogs combined! It’s extremely addictive good!

[@NikoBellaKhouf2]

Why does it have to be a competition

[@cjupp5723]

As a barbeque fanatic this was highly educational and a lot of fun to watch.

[@AdamWitt]

Hell yeah dude. I'm happy you're happy. This would be a great addition to any 4th of July celly.

[@AsmodeusTheOne]

Not sure if you like any bbq or just certain types, but if he does a cooking the states on NC, that’s some fire bbq

[@patrickwaclaw]

Chicago forever.

[@ChiSox326]

Nothing like Rib Tips and hot link combo omg 😱 so many good places but we have our unique BBQ the aqua smoker hmmm dam I need some rib tips right now

[@BB-hh9kv]

When I went Chicago I wondered what Chicago bbq was because the museums I went to said that it had it's own unique style, Thanks for this video I hope you keep doing videos like this

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks dood. Appreciate you tuning in.

[@LeRoyandLewisBBQ]

Cant wait to get to Lems in a couple weeks! Looks awesome guys!

[@AdamWitt]

Elll yeh. See you soon homie!

[@DB0YHULK]

This Is what I grew up on. So glad I found this channel you obviously can’t taste it but from the looks you been on point in every video I saw.

[@Affiliate067]

South Side! What a dope video. It's rare to see anybody do rib tips. Dope video.

[@jaredwatson8942]

I admire and respect you even more now! One, for doing some barbecue, and especially Midwest based. But because you got Joe Yim on here with you. That's what's up!!

[@AdamWitt]

Ayy thanks homie

[@chavad10]

Made me happy to see that you use your grill and it shows it. Always feel bad when I see videos of people cooking on their super clean grills. Can’t deep clean the grill after every use.

[@C.KenTeri-yaki]

Thanks!

[@camaroguy84]

As a former born and raised Chicagoan for 38 years, this was an excellent video.

[@313andsmokebbq]

New subscriber from Joe. I'm hooked. Please do a breakdown of the Chicago mild sauce. Would love to see that!

[@justcody85]

New subscriber here Joe sent me! Great video! Awe-inspiring awesome!

[@AdamWitt]

Whatup! Joe is the man. Thanks for tuning in. Welcome.

[@Fatmanstan606]

Top notch content. As a resident of about 15 yrs, I’ve been ridiculing chicago bbq for a lonnnnng time, just a subpar version of what you find in the southeast and in Texas. This is what I like to see, something distinctly our own

[@Jules_73]

I'm in the south suburbs of Chicago and I can attest to this video. There's a lot of small family owned BBQ joints scattered all over the are that are great. I love the tip and wing or tip and link combo with the a mix of hot and mild sauce. Damn, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

[@Johnchi02]

As a Westsider myself, this is done on the west side as well. Places like Coleman's chicken and ribs and most places like it in the area does this.

[@bzt464]

Tip and link are my favorite bites in bbq

[@AdamWitt]

Tips are slept on for sure.

[@ToddParker]

Lived in North Side of Chicago. Now live in Texas. BBQ is delish and this video is legit! I am going to try this WITH my West Texas Brisket. :)

[@AdamWitt]

Hell yeah. Thanks man. Hope you dig it.

[@RR1976]

A new spot in Chicago's southside at 51st and Racine called BBQ For You. Quality smoke and rub.

[@AntwonDavis-h4o]

Can you guys do a video on Chicago-style mild sauce?

[@MichaelB713]

I grew up on Lems. My Aunt use to work there. Thanks for sharing the video. Great Place to eat Ribs Tip. Miss Chi. And Lems I’m Florida now.

[@nadtz]

I live in Chicago way up north but anytime I'm in the South Side I'll grab some at least some rib tips. Like you said most of the places up north do a Texas style which is also really good but I really love Chicago style.

[@gbodysbc]

Pleeeeeaaaassse make a mild sauce video. I’ve tried so many recipes and to no avail. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@RockyHerk]

I was just thinking about Lems the other day and this popped up. Now I got to drive over an hour to get some!!! Hot links too!!

[@davidlopezsanz6482]

Really educational and interesting video!!! Also....YUM... DUDE!!

[@AdamWitt]

Gracias!

[@christineburrell88]

My favorite bbq place in Chicago

[@michaeljimenez4181]

Grew up eating robinson's rib tips with the steak fries and butter, so good. Can't get rib tips in Dallas unfortunately.

[@jona5517]

I love rib tips!!! Jerk rib tips are another way to eat them😋

[@koskism9181]

Video quality to views ratio is nuts. Keep going brother, good quality will bring people in over time and keep them hooked. You’ll be at 1M in no time

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks mate. Appreciate the support.

[@CGMPassion]

I'm from Florida and have been trying to figure out where we get our style of BBQ from and this is it!! 🥵😍This is exactly how we do it. People thought I was crazy when I said the best bbq I had was in Florida well I'll start rephrasing it lol it's Chicago style I guess

[@MYKE1111]

Lems is a staple! I-57 as well!

[@DaveScottADV]

Best BBQ was great as well, but I think they're gone.

[@mabstaanderson2767]

I loved lems growing up man I I need so now for real.

[@tommanning7337]

I’ve made ribs hundreds and hundreds of times but never rib tips. There was a place we would go for lunch in Mundelein Illinois that had the best rib tips. I can’t remember the name of the place I think I’m gonna have to start making some.

[@brianwarren2202]

Haven’t finished but this is a great vid

[@AdamWitt]

ty mate

[@tckoppang]

Love seeing a well-loved Weber. That baby has been **used.**

[@DaveScottADV]

I wish George's BBQ in Harvey was still around. St. Louis style ribs, tips, and links, served with fries and soppin' bread, and lots of a very sweet sauce. Very similar to what you got at Lem's. And yeah, he used one of those aquarium smokers, which I never knew those were a thing - I thought it was something unique he did.

[@ringoramjet]

Couldn't wait to move to Florida from Chicago area,after the slop here they call Chicago Style, I'm ready to walk back just to get the Tips,HOT Links combo among pizzas,Mexican food, Beef sandwiches etc

[@crushingbelial]

Heck yeah Joe Yim ftw

[@AdamWitt]

dude is a beast.

[@drjimmy2112]

This ok ol southsider enjoyed this 👍

[@jess4337]

so knowledgeable, so helpful, you're awesome

[@annavizard970]

I miss rib tips. Chicago has some of the best food in the country, and I have eaten everywhere.

[@bryanvuong931]

Please do a mumbo (DC) vs mild sauce (CHI) video

[@AdamWitt]

Woah, what's Mumbo? The name is fire.

[@bradcampbell624]

I do believe we have some spare ribs in the deep freeze and therefore what will be hitting the ol' Weber next weekend. I love rib tips, but usually don't sauce them (Texan); however, I'm going to copy your sauce and give it a go. Great vid as usual

[@novam7474]

Awesome video my mouth is watering

[@ShawnC.W-King]

CHICAGO BABY! Thank You Adam; You're invited to the cookout anytime Good Sir

[@bruceaskew2107]

Good video bro , respect for the history 💪🏽💯 i love lemms , leons, Alice's , i know some good spots But i can't iie lemms sauce been extra vinageray the past few times i went

[@lynnorabennett8509]

It’s not against the way to barbecue. Chicagoans have always been trend setters. I can’t wait to go home and eat my Tips. Yall don’t know😊

[@TheVileOne]

Those ribs look amazing

[@martynabieniok9669]

There is no custom of eating ribs where I live, but I will definitely use thar bbq sauce recipe!

[@AdamWitt]

@@AdamWitt Thanks man, I'll check it out and also subscribe to yours at the same time!

[@taccosnachos]

I'm here from Joe's channel. Cool content, subbed!

[@drtbantha]

Would still love to see the mild sauce video (and the smoked jjigae!) One thing I’ve always wondered: is the “red sauce” at Chicago gyros places the same thing as mild sauce?

[@jefferykantor5852]

Luv it , great food

[@Monaedeezy]

Thank you for this!

[@alexaguillon7904]

It ain’t Chicago style bbq sauce without pineapple juice 👏🏽👏🏽

[@amymee5775]

Yeah lems have pineapple juice in it😊

[@tommanning7337]

HELL YEAH!!!!!! that place is legit! 😎👍🏻👍🏻🔥

[@Shenmue58]

Great with out sauce too.

[@JBSwanstrom]

I miss the Hickory Pit...

[@saltyslug6598]

Growing up, this is what i thought bbq was. It wasn't until i was in high school that i tried more typical bbq

[@bigvig209]

Bro, did you make it to Hecky’s?

[@brianw3822]

Rib tips are my favorite. Boxes of rib tips are less than $1 a pound

[@michaelkclark6981]

Chicago‘s barbecue was amazing. Lem’s is Wonderful 👍🏽💪🏽🫵🏽👊🏾👌🏾

[@Userqwerty349]

Famous Dave, of Famous Daves Restaurants, sauces and rubs, has an aquarium smoker at his house. I'm certain he can afford whatever smoker he wants.

What was the total cook time?

[@donaldsmith9684]

Can't find your rub ingredients

[@user-kk9mn7yv9r]

Why does Adam have the same mannerisms as Buzz Lightyear? lol

[@AdamWitt]

To infinity, my boy.

[@antonyjiovanazzo5411]

Nice!! How long would you say total cook time was?

[@AdamWitt]

2-3 hours

[@devoradamaris]

🤲👑🤲 Rib~Tips

[@georged643]

Why didn’t u stay on 75th Street to eat???

[@AdamWitt]

That is the authentic way to do it, but my buddy's rooftop is a lot better for filming AND has a sick view of the skyline as the background - hard to pass up.

[@AntwonDavis-h4o]

PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@BrentBenton-g9d]

I57 best in Chicago

[@fuhq6731]

Anybody else eat the cartilage when they eat rib tips?

[@blkreign4784]

Lemssssss

[@dmitripopov8570]

My like is number 666 )

[@Perceptious37]

the problem with some of the meat culture in chicago is the quality. Most of what they sell are low grade meats that have been processed. rib tips are super annoying to eat with the bones. Hotlinks/vienna hotdogs. italian beef is also a cheap tough cut of meat cut super thin to mitigate the toughness. Deepdish pizza is way more bread, cheese, and sauce than it is meat. The big slab of sausage looks impressive, but when you consider its 25% or less of the weight of the pizza you are really just buying over priced cheesy bread. Chicago dogs covered in all the toppings hide the flavor of bad/spoiled meat. The only good thing about chicago dining is all the ethnicities so there is a ton of options. Even high end places in chicago dont compare to cities smaller than it. Growing up in the chicago land, and then experiencing other places, shows just how little this state cares. When your big stop back home is some cheap ass shaved beef that you are charged an absurd amount for, you cant really claim culinary significance.

[@MrJkaotic]

As a Chicagoan, this has to be one of the most disappointing and disrespectful takes on Chicago style rib tips. I couldn't even finish watching the video. You lost me when you said, "Rib tips DEFINITELY need sauce."

[@aliciamaria2730]

And you couldn't find NO Black people...omg😳

[@cosmicking6209]

I have to pay for information!? Well why tf did I just watch this, lol not subscribing to this capitalist

[@AsmodeusTheOne]

I need more “cooking the states” I NEED IT

[@AdamWitt]

It's coming! Lol.

[@AsmodeusTheOne]

@@AdamWitt you should do the eastern and Lexington style bbq of my home state of North Cackalacky 🔥💯💯
