This humble spot is the first Chain- smoker location, more of a fast ca- sual family joint than a darkened smokehouse for sipping whisky, but it is indeed licensed. The par- tially open kitchen provides a peek at meats getting loaded onto trays lined with butcher paper. Smoked chicken wings are sold by weight like most items for $12 per pound. Again, like mostly everything here, they’re smoked on site, and tossed in your choice of a mild or hot house barbecue sauce, or you can keep your wings unsauced. Braised beef ribs go for $18 for each individual bone, which the ten- der seven to eight ounces of dry- aged triple-A meat slide off of easily. 27
