About Real Urban Barbecue
COMING SOON TO OAK BROOK!
Highland Park native Jeff Shapiro launched Real Urban Barbecue, located at 610 Central Avenue #177 in downtown Highland Park in November of 2010. In July of 2012 Real Urban Barbecue opened the doors of their second location in Vernon Hills at 1260 South Milwaukee Avenue.
Shapiro has been winning trophies in the BBQ competition circuit for many years under the team name Dr. Deckle and Mr. Hide. Well before “Urban Barbecue” became the trend it is today, Shapiro’s feverish passion has had him touring the major BBQ markets of Midwest, the Carolinas, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Real Urban Barbecue specializes in dining, carryout, and catering. Their menu features homemade BBQ sauce and slow-smoked items like ribs, pulled pork, turkey, brisket and chicken slowly rotated on four Cookshack smokers capable of smoking 1600 lbs of meat daily.
Real Urban Barbecue has won accolades including Chicago Magazine’s “Hot List”, Chicago Tribune’s “Essential Barbecue Bites” and the Highland Park Patch’s “Best Sandwich”. RUB has also been voted “Best BBQ” by the readers of Make It Better Magazine, the Highland Park Patch, the Daily Herald in 2013 & 2014, and Chicago Magazine. Real Urban Barbecue is the only restaurant to take home awards in both the Judges Choice and People’s Choice categories at the 2012, 2013 & 2014 Ribfest Chicago.
In 2013, Real Urban Barbecue attended the Taste of Oak Brook, Little Bear Ribfest in Vernon Hills, Taste of Highland Park, where they were awarded “Best Service”. In 2013, RUB also attended the Windy City BBQ Classic at Soldier Field for the first time and received a trophy for first place in the Peoples’ Choice category. Most recently, RUB was awarded “most creative item” for their BBQ Nachos at Little Bear Ribfest and was featured on the Food Network’s Eating America with Anthony Anderson while competing at Ribfest Chicago 2014.
