Six BBQ Joints for BBQ Month

 

For those of you who are lucky (or unlucky) enough to live somewhere that experiences all four seasons, the month of May is often the turning point into summer. Once we get past Mother’s Day, we are typically in the clear of chilly spring weather. So, as we are slowly chugging along through May, the sun is peaking out more, and we are all finally defrosting! With the warm summer weather just around the corner, it makes sense that May is labeled as BBQ month. So let’s get into a summer mood and enjoy some barbecues! West coast, east coast, midwest, south, ParqEx has you covered with six BBQ joints for BBQ month!

 

Smoke Daddy – Chicago

 

The first of six BBQ joints for BBQ month is Smoke Daddy in Chicago, which has become a local staple. Due to popular demand, they are now open in two locations. Do you live near Wicker Park or Wrigleyville? You are in luck! Go to “The Daddy,” enjoy some drool-inducing BBQ, kick back & enjoy the classic BBQ atmosphere. Are you worried about finding parking near Chicago’s best BBQ? That is where we come in. ParqEx has several parking spots near both Smoke Daddy locations. Book your BBQ parking with ParqEx, and enjoy BBQ month!

 

Smoke Shack – Milwaukee

 

Do you need an excuse to visit the Third Ward, your favorite neighborhood in Milwaukee? Head to our second of six BBQ joints for BBQ month, Smoke Shack! This joint offers a friendly atmosphere and cooks up some of the best-smoked meat in the city. The Smoke Shack smokes all their meat in small batches all day to cater to its constant demand. So do yourself a favor and celebrate BBQ month at the Smoke Shack. We know that parking in the Third Ward can get hectic, especially over the weekend. Luckily for you, ParqEx has several parking spots around the Third Ward. So pre-book your BBQ parking with us, and enjoy some delicious food at the Smoke Shack.

 

5 Star Korean BBQ – Madison

 

Now, who says you have to stick to “authentic” American BBQ for BBQ month? Our third of six BBQ joints for BBQ month is 5 Star Korean BBQ in Madison, Wisconsin. Madison is a hub for hundreds of delicious restaurants. So, of course, this city does have a slew of BBQ restaurants. But for us, it was no question to feature 5 Star Korean BBQ. They provide delicious BBQ with a wide variety of flavors in each dish. Sometimes your tastebuds want a little extra oomph in BBQ, and 5 Star Korean delivers. So grab some BBQ, and pre-book your parking near the square with ParqEx.
