Nothing screams summer more than BBQ! How about barbecue from a Michelin-trained chef? Now that’s even better.

I loved catching up with Chef D’Andre Carter and Heather Bublick, co-owners of Soul & Smoke. These two really cook and work from the soul—elevated barbecue, but also from all they do for their community to keep bellies full. It’s like getting the perfect home-cooked meal at your favorite new hot spot. You won’t want to miss the incredible flagship location opening in Evanston, IL soon!

Heather and D’Andre met when they both started interning at the famed Moto in Chicago, one of the first restaurants to focus on eccentric, trompe l’oeil platings by the late Chef Homaro Cantu. They built a catering business from there, combining their fine dining backgrounds with food that equally fed the soul. Now, they’re building an empire across Chicagoland—and don’t count out nationwide one day!

You can visit Soul & Smoke’s outposts throughout Chicagoland in Evanston; the Avondale neighborhood; Accenture Tower; and at Soldier Field.
