In a state known mostly for its Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs, Illinois may not be the place that first comes to mind when it comes to incredible, mouthwatering BBQ. But if you enjoy some good, downhome Southern-style barbecue, there’s a place in Quincy called Fatbacks BBQ and you need to make plans to go.

Donald and Princess Osborne started out in barbecue competitions and due to numerous requests, decided to open up their own barbecue joint. Fatbacks BBQ first opened its doors in 2012 and has been serving up drool-worthy food ever since.
