We’ve used just about every joke we can to describe the onslaught of new barbecue places in the city. As Feast notes, seven barbecue restaurants have opened this summer (if you count El’s Kitchen). So, what is there possibly to say about Rub BBQ, which plans to open next week in West Rogers Park? It’s serving ribs, pulled pork, and baked beans in what looks like a very plain room. If the pictures from its Facebook page are any indication, this place will be more of an actual rugged barbecue experience, instead of a faux-rugged experience. Sadly, we won’t know whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing until it opens. [LTHForum via Feast]
