What once was a Hecky’s of Chicago franchisee is now Hickory’s BBQ, Salads, Wraps & More (1234 N. Halsted St.; 312-377-7427 [RIBS]). “We were here for four years as Hecky’s,” says Michael Koertgen, a partner. “We chose not to renew our license with Hecky. We have a different sauce altogether—a sweet smoky sauce with a light kick, made from scratch on site. We purchased a smoker and we smoke all of our meats on site with hickory wood. We have the real tender Chicago-style that falls off the bone, and the smoked, which are a little bit firm.” The 35-seat spot’s rack of beef ribs ($18) weighs in at three pounds. “The bones are big,” says Koertgen. “There’s probably a full pound of meat to the order.”
It appears they are offering two differnt ribs styles: meat-jello crowd and possibly a nod to the purists who want smoke. This sounds ripe for a side-by-side comparison.
Regards,
I read this yesterday too.
It strikes me as funny that they say the "chose not to renew" their license.
I'll pass on the side by side give my personal experience with their standards of quality and sanitation.Check out my Blog. http://lessercuts.blogspot.com/

Why, ruining Hecky's good name, and trashing his brand, silly!

Post #36 - November 2nd, 2008, 1:47 amI believe "Flash in the Pan" was removing hard earned money from people who expected actual BBQ, from a BBQ place...I know shocking! But, I'm sure some unsuspecting person will go in for a "wrap"...does smoke keep the roaches away??
