    Lunchtime

    Popular friendly bbq joint right on the main drag in Peru runs like a well oiled machine. You order at the counter, take a number and your meal is brought to your table. The meats are so tender that they melt in your mouth. Today I tried the soup special which was a gluten free Seafood with Wild Rice Soup that comes with a tender and moist cornbread and butter. My husband tried the SJB Sandwich which is a hot link covered in bbq brisket and provolone cheese topped with giardinera on a crusty hoagie roll. He chose Mac and cheese for his side and it also came with crunchy pickle chips. The interior has exposed brick walls, a wooden ceiling and a bar that wraps around in front and an assortment of high tops and regular table seating. There are umbrella tables outside and both street and lot parking. They also do catering and post their weekly specials on their website.

    Street Tacos

    The food was good tasting. I ended up getting the street tacos and the meat inside is a bit dry. I tried the brisket sandwich and the meat was very dry! The atmosphere and workers were good. Everything is a bit pricey for the amount you get.

    Had brisket delicious with Alabama white sauce, the bar tender so nice place very clean ( even the men's room)LOL would definitely recommend coming here . Great Bloody Mary

    I visited Stone Jug BBQ a few weeks ago when me and my buddy when hiking at Starved Rock, Matthiessen, and Buffalo Rock State Parks. We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday and there is a small parking lot outside with ample street parking. There were people there and a short line. If you dined in, then they would give you a number and bring the food to you. Ambiance was cozy and contemporary with a nice bar at the entrance and a big hall in the back for seating. There were a few TVs. Great country music playing! When I try a new BBQ place, I have to try everything. So I got The Juggernaut. Ribs, Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, and Pastrami. Mac n Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Cornbread. Notes are below: Cornbread is amazing. Sweet and flavorful. Cole slaw is great. Not vinegary. Has a small kick. Pastrami is solid. Not spectacular. Too fatty for my liking. Brisket is flavorful and tender. No rub. Never had it chopped before, but they initially pointed me in that direction so I got it. Not sure if I would have liked it better sliced. Pulled pork is good. No rub. Ribs are good. Rub is really good. Amazing smoke ring. Brisket and the pulled pork were my favorites as they were juicy and tender. Sauces were amazing and some of the best that I have had! Peach chipotle sauce is amazing. Very flavorful. Signature sauce is very flavorful as well. Has a small kick. Honey golden is great! Sweet and small amount of vinegar. Portion sizes are HUGE!!! Counter service and the waitress who brought us our food were friendly. Prices were average for BBQ. Overall, I am very glad that I found Stone Jug BBQ and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of BBQ and you are in the area!

    Worst bbq I have ever had. Got a pound of brisket. 1/2 chopped ,1/2 sliced. The chopped looked exactly like pot roast!! Dry brisket. Sauces were different. Just give me hot or mild. Maybe come to Kansas and see what REAL Bbq is !?!?

    Bread pudding

    We came here on the Fourth of July since the kitchen sink in my MIL's house broke and they had to turn the water off. I'm glad Stone Jug was open, because it was phenomenal. We had the two dogs, so we sat outside at one of the many huge picnic tables. One enjoyed the pets from passerby's and the other kept eyeing my chicken. It's counter service, and they give you a number placard to bring back to your table and bring you your food. The Mac and cheese was so good, a beautifully done baked Mac. The cornbread was also delicious, it was sweet enough you didn't need any honey drizzled on top. It came with a cute little pad of butter if you're into that. The chicken was delicious, they ask your preference of light vs dark meat when you order. I'm normally a dark meat gal, but I wanted to try the breast meat too. I think next time I would do all dark, because I think the breast meat was a little dry for my taste. The thigh/drumstick were very juicy and the seasoning was fantastic. I tried all 4 sauces, and the peach chipotle and Alabama white were my favorites. The Alabama white kind of reminded me of the zesty sauce from Burger King. The bread pudding was also a home run, it was a great finish to the meal.

From start to finish I believe that a client should be given service that is as unique as they are. I do not offer a "standardized" menu that offers the same 7 dishes that everyone has to pick from. Your menu is created with you in mind and based upon your event, guests, and dietary needs. Prices are all inclusive and include groceries, hourly rate for in home preparation, cleanup and any serving pieces required. As a chef, I specialize in classic French and authentic Italian as well as Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine. In the 14 years I have been a chef/personal chef I have become a master at the art and skill of throwing a swanky EFFORTLESS dinner or cocktail event. Looking for something different? I also offer a "Chef's Tasting" menu which with encompass 8-10 micro courses giving the diner a wide range of tastes and delights, just as you would get in a Chicago 5 star restaurant.

So every Wednesday, I make it a point to try a new spot in the Valley. This weeks trek was to DeMilio's Italian Deli. After the 1st bite, I knew I made the right call immediately. Truth be told, I passed by the place as it's wedged between to other businesses and their sign looks a bit faded from the sun. I phoned in the order for pick up and went with the DeMilio's Sub which included Ham, Salami, Capicolla, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato & Oil on a Baked Sub Roll. I opted for the 9" which in retrospect, I did not need since this sub was filled with meat galore! The bread was fresh and I also asked for giardiniera which was a great move as they did not skimp on the portion! Now I ate this in car which was messy but I do look forward to the day where I can head back to Ladd, gain some elbow room and handle this again! The only drawback from my experience was the meh selection of chips. Going to a deli, I like to see some solid chip options but instead I saw small bags of Frito Lay products as opposed to some Bagel Chips, Miss Vickie's Chips or at least some smaller bags of Kitchen Cooked chips! Plenty of parking available and a friendly staff to boot! I can't wait to head back in the near future.
