Chicago's Smoque vs Urbana's Black Dog: I am glad to say that Black Dog is a decisive winner when it comes to ribs (more affordable, more meat + better rub), beans (more smokey flavor + thicker), sauce (a wider selection and a deeper flavor) and mac 'n cheese (creamier + crispier crumbs on top).
The motif of restaurants were identical! Right down to the tin serving trays, the aluminum ramekins for the mac 'n cheese, and the Styrofoam bowls for the sides.
Smoque is really good, though, and I think that is indicative of just how good Black Dog really is.
