Dinner for Two: RED, WHITE, & BLUE BARBECUE


  • Prairie Moon 1635 Chicago Avenue Evanston, IL, 60201 United States (map)

Each week, Prairie Moon takes you on a culinary adventure, either to a different flavor capital of the country or by featuring Prairie Moon’s daily specials. Dinner for two includes an appetizer, two entreé specials, buttercrumb bread, and a dessert. The pre-fixe dinner for two is announced each Thursday and available Fridays-Wednesdays

RED, WHITE, & BLUE BARBECUE

When, in the course of dining events, it becomes necessary for one couple to dissolve their dependence upon ordinary dinners...

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

  • That applewood-smoked pork belly and red beans & rice form a more perfect union.

  • That jumbo wings are endowed with certain unalienable sauces.

  • That peach-praline bread pudding is a Pursuit of Happiness.

  • And that blueberry-bourbon sauce on ribs is awesome.
