Second Lillie's Q location to open in Chicago French Market (Photos)

Lillie’s Q chef/owner Charlie McKenna will open a second Lillie’s Q location in Chicago featuring award-winning competition BBQ and Southern favorites inside the Chicago French Market in the West Loop in late January.

At the Lillie’s Q Chicago French Market location, McKenna’s will serve about half of the same menu he serves at his Lillie’s Q restaurant in Bucktown.
