Chicago Culinary Kitchen To Appear On 'Check, Please!'

PALATINE, IL — A Palatine barbecue joint will be featured on an upcoming episode of the WTTW-TV's "Check, Please!" The Chicago Culinary Kitchen is one of three restaurants that appears on Friday's show of the PBS member station's restaurant review series hosted by Alpana Singh.

"Check, Please!" recently visited the village restaurant as part of its 18th season. Friday's segment will have three Chicagoans comparing their dining experience at CCK.

The barbecue restaurant was selected for the series thanks to a suggestion by YouTuber Sean Ely, according to the show. He had visited CCK as part of Number Six With Cheese, the comedy food review YouTube channel he co-hosts.

Owned and run by Greg and Kristina Gaardbo, Chicago Culinary specializes in Texas-style barbecue. Over the summer, it was named as Illinois' best barbecue restaurant by Money magazine.

Along with CCK, the West Loop's Madison Bar and Logan Square's Chiya Chai also will be featured on the episode.
