Started by a couple who acquired a quick reputation for pleasing their friends’ palates at every gathering, the Cookout On Wheels takes the friendly fires out of the backyard and into the streets of Chicagoland, with all of the heat and none of the destruction. Unless, of course, you count mass destruction of hunger. BBQ and classic sandwiches are the specialty of the house, with Prime Ribeye and ribs grilled up to smoked perfection, slathered in homemade sauce. Pulled pork, grilled sausages and rotating tacos pad out the menu’s other side, along with standouts like The Godfather (roast beef on garlic bread, doused with BBQ sauce and mozzarella) and Jerk Chicken over Caribbean Rice.
A host of classic sides are also present, from a 6-Chz Mac to a Mexican cornbread to several unmissable stops in-between. Wherever they roam, the spirit of backyard fun follows, so scout out The Cookout and get your palate primed – it’s about to get familiar with a whole lotta flavor.
