Carryout

First had 17th Street BBQ at the original Murphysboro, Illinois location several years ago. Good stuff! Most recently have had it at the O'Fallon, Illinois location. The atmosphere is different, and the food is just as good. Today-- for the first time-- I am bringing some sauce home. (It's the original, with "a little kick".)

Besides the food, the proprietor (Mike Mills) seems to be quite the character. He's won many BBQ contests and awards and has written a book titled Peace, Love and BBQ. Gotta love a guy who's got his priorities right!



By the way, I took this pic with my iPhone using the "Camera Awesome" app from SmugMug. The effect shown here is called "More Cowbell".
