Oatmeal
My favorite oatmeal is "Country Choice Organic Oats, Old Fashioned" which are already oven toasted which add flavor to the dull oatmeal. They sell this brand at Trader Joes and Whole Foods,

Best BBQ sauce from the BBQ Restaurants
In my opinion good BBQ goes with good BBQ sauce... it ruins it for me if a restaurant has excellent smoked meat and weak sauce. I recently visited Lem’s last Saturday for the first time and the ribs were excellent but the sauce was watery and a hint of too much black pepper which didnt go well with the ribs at all.
From the BBQ places I visited in the past year, here are my favorite sauces: (listed from best to worst tasting)
1. Honey 1 BBQ, Chicago - (base is Open Pit mixed with other spices)
2. Hecky's, Evanston
3. Salt Creek BBQ, Elk Grove Village – (Hot BBQ sauce is sweet and spicy, original sauce not as tasty)
4. Barbara Ann's BBQ, Chicago
5. Smoque BBQ, Chicago – (Very Vinegary sauce)
6. Lem's Bar-B-Que-House, Chicago – (Thin watery peppery sauce)
7. Russell's Barbecue, Rolling Meadows – (vinegary taste)
What is everyone else’s opinion on which BBQ place produces the best tasting sauce?
