2 buzz June 27-July 3, 2013

I spent this past weekend in California at my cousin Laura’s wedding.

I had a fantastic time drinking bourbon, smoking cigars and eating cake with my extended family. The speeches were heartfelt. The two families came together and celebrated a union between two loving partners. The brides looked fantastic. Yes, I said brides. It was a marriage between two women, and while there was no mass, it was every bit as beautiful and joyous as it would have been had it been a “traditional” wedding. The world didn’t end.

We danced to classic Motown songs as gay couples, straight couples and single people found a way to enjoy themselves.

Wednesday was a historic day for gay rights, the rights of the American people and equality in general. The Supreme Court struck down DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), a law that banned the federal government from recognizing samesex marriages that had been recognized by state governments. In California, Proposition 8, the law banning same-sex marriages, was dismissed. The timing couldn’t be better, as my cousin and her wife will now be legally recognized, as will the hordes of others who have been waiting since 2008.

I’ve never understood the arguments against gay marriage. I’ve never heard one that doesn’t rely on flawed logic. Two of my favorite comedians have really put it in better words than I could.

Louis C.K. said it best: “You see someone stand up on a talk show and say, ‘How am I supposed to explain to my child that two men are getting married?’ I don’t know, it’s your shitty kid, you fuckin’ tell ‘em. Why is that anyone else’s problem? Two guys are in love but they can’t get married because you don’t want to talk to your ugly child for five minutes?” Sure, it’s profane, and rudely worded, but he brings up a valid point. The concept of marriage, of “true love,” is all a cultural construct that has to be explained to children at some point anyway. Why does the sex of the people involved in a relationship make a difference?

I also share the opinion of Aziz Ansari, who said, “Let’s be honest, if you’re against gay marriage, you just don’t like gay people and you want to stick it to ‘em.”

Honestly, I don’t understand how we as a country have continued so long with so many laws that take the values of one culture and force them onto others to the point where they can’t live happy lives.

Hopefully the Supreme Court decisions will make lawmakers in Illinois change their minds about the issue before it's voted on again in November. Love is love, and the government should not be allowed to decide what types of families are more “valuable” than others.

World ufo day

BY WILL HUBBS Do little green men tickle your fancy? Have you ever spent the night chasing an unidentified flying object in the sky? Have you ever wondered if we are really alone in the universe? If any of these questions interest you, then you should check out World UFO Day on July 2. This day is set aside to remind us of the existence of exterritorial life. It is a day to remember that, hey, it’s more than likely we are not alone.

So, what started the alien hype? On July 7, 1947, in Roswell, N.M., an unidentified flying object landed on a ranch. Although this incident was ignored for almost 30 years, it became the center of alien conspiracy theories in the 1970s. Although the U.S. government maintains it was a weather balloon and not an alien UFO that landed on the farm in Roswell, this incident is still subject to speculation today.

Here are a few suggestions as to how you can make your July 2 out of this world. For those with artistic talents, you can spend your day making frisbees shaped like flying saucers or decorative T-shirts. If arts and crafts really aren’t your thing, you can go out and look for UFOs in the sky with your digital camera or phone. Finally, you can just talk about the issue. Ask your friends or your family.

It’s a great conversation starter.

So this July 2, keep your eyes glued to the sky and remember they may already be among us.

» GunsSaveLife.com: If you drive south on I-57 just past the I-74 exits, you will see a few road signs declaring one farmer’s pro-gun stance, followed by the words “Guns Save Life.” That’s a very interesting statement. Do guns save life?

Hm... You know what? Yeah. They save life, in a way. Or, they have saved life in one instance or another. But do they save lives overall? I think that’s a much harder statement to make. Do the lives saved by guns outnumber the lives lost because of guns? I don’t think anyone can provide a definitive answer to that question. And things become more convoluted once you start looking at everything on a regional basis: Do guns make everyone safer in a bad neighborhood like Englewood on the south side of Chicago? Probably not. People are shooting each other left and right over there, with both crooks and innocent bystanders caught in the gunfire. Maybe it’s all right to have guns in rural Montana? (Don’t wild bears come right up to peoples’ doorsteps in rural Montana? I’ll take one large gun, please.) Though as a privileged 21-yearold male who has lived in safe, sheltered suburbia all my life, I really don’t have a leg to stand on while speaking on this issue. I don’t really have much to be angry about, and I don’t feel like I have ever been seriously wronged by another human being. I also come from a very loving, two-parent household, so there’s that. Though many people in this world don’t fit that profile. Some people are angry. Some people are mentally ill in a way that makes them violent. And some people want guns to protect themselves from the insane and the angry. So, really, I don’t know where to stand on this issue. Just don’t shoot other people. I guess it’s really that simple.

1 X 5.417 The1/8th return page of Dan Harmon

by Amanda Toledo

In

his commencement speech to University of the Arts in 2012, author, television writer and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman said of freelance artists, “People keep working ... because their work is good, and because they are easy to get along with, and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three. Two out of three is fine.” Later the same year, I heard that Dan Harmon, the creator/showrunner of NBC’s Community had been let go for season four. After hearing that, I could only assume that Harmon’s work was tardy and that he wasn’t very easy to get along with because his work was solidly good.

Community is one of two veteran NBC comedies that will be returning next year. The show follows seven unlikely friends at Greendale Community College as they work in a study group and get into ridiculous and humorous shenanigans. The group, comprised of group leader Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), faux-activist Britta Perry (Gillian

Jacobs), anal-retentive good-girl Annie Edison (Alison Brie), mother and Christian sandwich shop owner Shirley Bennett (Yvette Brown), pop-culture obsessed Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), former star jock Troy Barnes (Donald Glover) and the benignly politically incorrect senior citizen student Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase).

With such a diverse cast of characters, what makes the show work is the individuality and quirkiness afforded to each person, and how they manage to mesh together into the group dynamic.

Why would they let Harmon go when his voice helped shape that dynamic and his was the artistic direction that made Community what it was? I couldn’t say with certitude. What I can say is that Harmon’s absence was heavily felt through the painful run of season four. While season four show runners David Guarascio and Moses Port made valiant efforts, their Community hit more like a poor facsimile of what they thought it should be, rely-

ing on old jokes and staples of the show that they could not successfully pull off. One of their biggest failures was in their attempt to capture the voice of Abed Nadir, who, though never blatantly stated, clearly falls somewhere on the autism spectrum, and whose humour is difficult to capture if there isn’t a firm grasp on his character.

Though uncomfortable, I refused to give up on the season, promising myself as a fan — and out of respect for the actors who did their best with the material that was provided — that I would watch to the end. The problems I had with the season went beyond their failure to communicate the wit and individuality of the characters’ voices. While understanding the limitations of a half-season pickup (only 13 episodes as opposed to the customary 22), the finale was entirely botched. Threads that they had been developing since the season three finale (for example, Chang [Ken Jeong] working with Greendale arch rival City College) were unceremoniously dropped, and replaced with a bizarre sci-fi dream sequence that heavy-handedly relied on the now overused paintball trope, and rushed us through a hectic half hour.

The closest season four came to feeling like a solidly good episode (that also captured the essence of Abed) was "Basic Human Anatomy," in which Abed and Troy pretend to switch bodies, which accounts for any lack of authenticity in the portrayal of Abed’s character. It is being displayed through Troy’s perception of him, which, while delightfully close, cannot be 100 percent exact. Part of the tone and quality of this episode may arise from the fact that it was written by series regular Jim Rash, who plays the flamboyant and fantastic Dean Pelton. It was the first episode Rash ever wrote for the series, but it felt closer to Harmon’s Community than any other episode in the most recent season.

Harmon’s return, however, is not the only one of note, and possibly not even the one that will impact individual episode quality. Writer Chris McKenna will also be returning to Community with Harmon. McKenna’s episode "Remedial Chaos Theory," which split the episode into six narratives of possible outcomes at a pizza night, snagged the only Emmy nomination the show has ever received. McKenna’s episodes, in fact, rank amongst the most entertaining and innovative episodes such as "Conspiracy Theories & Interior Design" and "Paradigms of Human Memory." With such good writing credits to his name, news of McKenna’s leaving caused almost as much uproar as Harmon’s.

It should also be noted that when Harmon left, there was also a mass exodus of other staff writers who helped shape the show and knew the characters well. There’s no word on their return yet, but what truly may have been the problem last season was that the voice and vision of the show was lost. Hopefully with the return of the creator, the show can return to its former glory.

Interviews with Blues, Brews and BBQ vendors

It

i s certainly festival season in ChampaignUrbana, and up next is the Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival. The event will take place in downtown Champaign this Friday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Saturday from noon to 2 a.m. Afraid you might have trouble deciding what to eat? We suggest that you bring an appetite and read on about what to expect from some of this year’s vendors.

Leah Bodine of Louie’s Dixie Kitchen (1104 N. Cunningham Ave., Urbana) » buzz: First off, what will you be serving at the festival? Why are you excited about what you’ve selected and how does it represent your restaurant? » Leah Bodine: We will be selling pulled pork, mac and cheese, alligator bites and sandwiches, red beans and rice and barbecue nachos.

These items are our signature dishes at festivals and in the restaurant. This year will be the first year we will be selling alligator. » buzz: What’s unique about the food you serve? Why does it stand out among other places like it? » LB: As far as we know, we are the only restaurant in the CU area serving alligator dishes. » buzz: From what I gather, you started Louie’s pretty recently. What has the journey of starting a new restaurant been like? What inspired you to create a barbecue place? » LB: Louie’s Dixie Kitchen was originally name Louie’s BBQ as a catering company. When the opportunity arose to take the business from a catering company to a restaurant, it was renamed Louie’s Dixie Kitchen due to the Mississippi-style barbecue we do. This style of barbecue is slow roasted, not smoked like other places in the area.

Since there are several barbecue restaurants in the area, we chose to add the Dixie Kitchen cuisine instead of focusing solely on barbecue. This is why

we serve menu items such as alligator, oysters, Cajun and Creole recipes. » buzz: On your website, you say that you consider Louie’s BBQ a family-oriented restaurant. What does this mean to you? How is that an important part of your presence in the community? » LB: We do consider ourselves family oriented due to the setting and atmosphere of the restaurant. Guests tell us it feels like home and very comfortable. Our dishes are purchased from local Goodwill, Habitat Restore and Salvation Army stores, so all the plates, coffee, mugs and bowls do not match. This is one of our ways of giving back to the community.

—Muriel Kelleher

Mike Potts of Holy Smoke BBQ (4109 Englewood Dr., Champaign) » buzz: What will you be vending at the event? » Mike Potts: Pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, pulled pork and chicken nachos, quarter-pound hot dogs, brats, cheesy taters, black bean salad. » buzz:Why should someone choose your stand? » MP: A life-long family love of great barbecue that turned into a family business specializing in catering and special events, pulled pork and chicken using our own dry spice rub smoked low and slow over hickory wood to perfection. Try a delicious sandwich or our outrageously good nachos! Big all-beef hot dogs and yummy brats grilled just right with all the fixings. Homemade

side dishes along with our signature mild, zesty or hot barbecue sauce. » buzz: Why do you enjoy doing events such as Brews, Blues and BBQ? » MP: We went to the first Blues, Brews and BBQ in 2008 and decided the first festival Holy Smoke BBQ would serve in 2009 would be Blues, Brews and BBQ. We had so much fun working with Fluid Events and seeing all the people who love great barbecue, beer and excellent blues music. We have seen Blues, Brews and BBQ grow to the fantastic event it is, and Holy Smoke BBQ has grown right along with them. Looking forward to 2013! ­—Carrie McMenamin (Continued on page 12)

vangelicals, the band from Norman, Okla., that is, received well-deserved buzz over their first two albums So Gone and The Evening Descends.

» JJ: I think so, yeah. » buzz: What kind of changes? » JJ: I’d say a little sadder. Not too sad, but a little bit. » buzz: How do you translate your songs to a live show? » JJ: It depends on songs. First we try to stay true to what’s recorded, but sometimes that doesn’t work live so we just take it from there.

I guess it just sort of happens organically. » buzz: You guys share a hometown with The Flaming Lips. Do they have a particular influence on your music? » JJ: When I was a kid, I would go to their shows and stuff. ...

Big-time Blues Blues Brews and BBQ Festival hits downtown Champaign June 28 and 29

lues, Brews and BBQ just sounds like a good time. That must be part of the reason why the festival, which takes place this Friday and Saturday, is in its sixth year, and is bigger and better than ever.

Over 55,000 people, more than ever, attended last year, and this year’s lineup should draw that and then some. Walter Trout, Popa Chubby, Eric Sardinas and Shane Dwight are just some of the acts that you can catch at this year’s fest in downtown Champaign.

“They come from all over the place to come to the festival,” said Director Mike Galloway. He cited visitors from Ohio, Ontario, Indiana and Kentucky making their way to Blues, Brews and BBQ, but the same can be said for the musicians, who hail from all over the country.

And the festivities don’t stop after the fest is over. Memphis on Main (55 E. Main St., Cham-

6 buzz June 27-July 3, 2013

paign) will also host an aftershow each night.

“If you don’t wanna stop at midnight, you can just keep going,” Galloway said.

This year, the party will also be extended yearround, as Galloway said he hopefully will be able to book more blues artists to play area venues, as well as hold “brews and views” film screening fundraisers in order to keep the fest a free or $5 donation event.

Speaking of free, in addition to the music and craft and food vendors, the family-friendly festival will have a kids area with free carnival rides sponsored by FE Moran, as well as a motorcycle parade and bike show. No matter what you come for, you’ll surely stay for the blues.

“Blues music is one of the best genres of music on the planet,” Galloway said. “If people aren’t involved with it or familiar with it, this is definitely the place to be to start liking it a lot more.”

FARM FRESH

Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery’s weekly open house

BY JENNIFER HAARE

F

ollow Lincoln Avenue north past Interstate 74 until you see the sign that says “North Lincoln.” Turn right. Soon you will have traveled away from the busy concrete and fumes of Lincoln, smack into a landscape painting. Actually, no, it’s just sudden farm land with wide open skies and green grass billowing in the wind. Keep driving (or biking!) and soon you’ll see a little sign for Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery (4410 N. Lincoln Ave., Urbana). There’s a parking lot and some area on the grass, a safe place to leave your car while you explore Prairie Fruits Farm’s open house.

For the third year in a row, the farm is running their summer open house and on-farm sales. Every Wednesday through August, from 4-6 p.m., you can head out to the farm with friends or family and see all the farm has to offer. There are even booths for other local farms such as Lucky Duck and Tomahnous Farm. You can witness afternoon sunshine on the farm, an unparalleled beauty that makes you proud to be an earthling, but there’s also much more to see here. Walk over by the windmill and patio area to commune with the piggies lying peacefully in the mud. Even better, enjoy the sounds of children oinking at them. Past the pigs, you can find two barns full of goats and another big barn with tables outside of it.

I recommend starting with a scoop of gelato which you can grab inside the first barn. Be sure to bring at least $3 cash for a scoop (cone or

bowl!) of the tastiest gelato ever. It’s made fresh weekly from Prairie Fruits Farm’s goat’s milk. They prepare the flavors and milk on Monday and mix and freeze by Tuesday, so the batches are ready for Wednesday’s open house and the Saturday farmers market. A popular flavor is rhubarb swirl, which features chunks of tangy rhubarb in a vanilla base. Flavors are seasonal and many incorporate farm ingredients. Current flavor offerings include classics like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, as well as more exotic offerings such as rhubarb swirl, tart cherry stracciatella (made with cherries from the garden and belgian dark chocolate), pistachio (made with pistachios imported from Italy — out of this world good), hazelnut, cajeta swirl and their newest flavor, lemon balm and thyme. Late summer and fall will feature more herb-based, nutty flavors. Grab a scoop during the open house and take a pint home ($10, but very worth it). You can also pick up extra pints at Urbana's Market at the Square on Saturdays.

Also, if you have any questions about the product, the scooper is always happy to help.

Prairie Fruits Farm has a palpable commitment to quality that manifests not just in its gelato, but in all areas of the farm. Take, for example, the goats.

They are present in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes, but have one thing in common: They are adorable, clean and well-mannered. Guests at the open house are allowed to go inside the smaller

barn full of “kids” (that’s the little goats) and walk up and pet the bigger ones. The older goats wear collars with their names (like the adorable Olive and Ethel), making the experience even more personal.

A reminder: Always let an animal smell you before touching it. “You wouldn’t want people just walking up and touching you!” a mom told her two boys.

The open house is a great place to bring your (human) kids. Meeting the goats at a farm, rather than at a petting zoo, is a valuable lesson for children about where food comes from. It is also a learning opportunity. Three-year-old Jake called one of the goats a camel before being corrected by his mother.

Another little girl noted that some of the goats have beards “like Daddy.” One father, standing with his children beside the adult goats, offered his goat wisdom. “These guys are going to get milked, and then they’re gonna turn that milk into cheese!” His children stared at the goats with a new sense of awe.

The Prairie Fruits Farm goat cheese is creamy and fresh and available for purchase. I picked up the black pepper chevre, which tastes great with strawberries. There’s also feta, bloomy rind cheeses and a new “Huckleberry Blue” (raw goat milk blue cheese). You can stop at the table for Stewart’s Artisan Breads and pick up bread, bagels, cookies or granola to eat with your cheese!

Past the goat barns is the fruit of Prairie Fruits: groves of bushes and trees that are home to the farm’s collection of berries. Soon the open house

will feature black currants, gooseberries, jostaberries and cherries. Later they will have peaches and blackberries. These fruits may also appear in gelato.

The open house also features a few “guest farms.” First is The Lucky Duck Farm, which offers grass-fed ground beef and ham, duck and chicken eggs as well as yarn spun from their Icelandic sheep. Lucky Duck is a relatively new farm with the same focus on sustainable organic farming that fuels Prairie Fruits Farm.

Tomahnous Farm, just north of Mahomet, was also well represented by the delightful sales man and son of the farm owners, Maxwell. From their local and organic farm, he offered a variety of produce such as lettuce, herbs, strawberries, garlic and plants.

Lastly, don’t forget your knives! Laurence the Knife Dude will sharpen your knives for you, polish them and offer you knife tips and tricks! Laurence has a professional woodworking shop in Champaign and picked up knife sharpening as a hobby.

He said this developed from an interest in repairing “old” things and keeping them functional. In many ways, this motivation is similar to that behind sustainable farming, which strives to leave the earth in better shape than it began. The open house is a great way to see what life on a farm should be like as well as support the people reclaiming Illinois’ rich soil and farming history. Take your kids! Your friends! Yourself! Pick up some snacks and food and don’t forget to pet the goats!

Buggin’ out

Q&A with insect photographer Alex Wild

by Imani Brooks

Alex Wild's photograph of a honey bee on a New England aster. Urbana. Wild's portfolio is found at alexanderwild.com

C

elebrating the end of the Champaign-Urbana National Pollinator Week, CU photographer and entomologist Alex Wild offered an hour-long insect photography workshop this past Sunday in Meadowbrook Park (2808 S. Race St., Urbana). I caught up with Wild on his BugShot photography workshop, upcoming trip to Belize and his favorite kind of critter. » buzz: How and when did you become involved with insect photography? » Alex Wild: As a graduate student at the University of California at Davis, about 10 years ago, I bought a little Nikon Coolpix digicam.

The idea was to have photographs of the ants I studied so that I could use them in talks about my research. Turned out photography was addictive, and within a couple years I upgraded to a proper macro photography kit. At the time, I had no aspirations of professional photography.

The business started accidentally, after textbook editors, field guide publishers and nature magazines started contacting me for permission to use the photos. It wasn’t that I had good photos of insects. It’s that I had correctly identified photos of insects, with scientific names attached. I was trained as a taxonomist, after all.

The limiting resource in the bug photography market is not images — those abound on the Internet — but the technical knowledge about the animals themselves.

» buzz: What came first, an interest in biology or photography? » AW: I’ve been a natural history buff since as long as I remember. As a kid, I was always out collecting fossils, insects, snakes, tadpoles. The photography is another vehicle for interacting with the natural world. » buzz: How is insect photography different from other macro photography and photography in general? » AW: Technically, insect photography isn’t all that different from other forms of macro, except the subjects are often less cooperative.

Macro photography, which is photography specialized on very small subjects, requires specialized lenses. To be successful at insect photography requires not only these lenses, but enough knowledge of insect behavior to plan around the difficulties of small, active and usually skittish subjects. » buzz: Which insect is your favorite subject and why? » AW: Ants, of course! There are some 15,000 species around the world, they are found nearly everywhere and since each species is both fully social and unique in its biology, it’s like we have 15,000 variations on alien civilizations right under our feet, most of which, despite my best efforts, have still never been photographed.

We have a number of fascinating ant species here in central Illinois. Right in town, there are four species of slave-raiding ants. These kidnap

the young of other ant species to use as labor in their own nests. If you walk enough sidewalks in the late afternoon during the summer, you’ll see fast-moving columns of large, red, shiny ants.

That’s a raid in action. We also have pavement ants that stage massive territorial battles, and citronella ants that smell strongly of ... well, citronella when their nests are disturbed. » buzz: On BugShot: What inspired you to create BugShot and teach insect photography? » AW: So, BugShot is the name for a series of insect photography workshops run often in collaboration with other photographers. The workshops started because I receive many “Howdo-I-do-this?” emails, so it seemed to me a lot of people want to learn how to take better bug photographs. Many are trained entomologists who are just starting with a photography hobby.

We held the first BugShot in 2011 in St. Louis, and it was so fun we immediately started planning others. Turned out I was right about the demand.

Every BugShot event we’ve offered has sold out.

The other great thing about Bugshot is that our participants bring their own talents. The events have turned out more like conferences than courses, everyone sharing their tips and tricks, and we instructors end up learning a great deal.

What’s been particularly heartwarming for me is how many participants springboard from the workshops into serious photography. Many alum-

ni now sell their work and hold exhibitions. Some are even running their own macro workshops. » buzz: BugShot is traveling to Belize in September.

What are you most excited about during this trip? » AW: Belize has many advantages for BugShot. It hosts a very rich tropical fauna — not just wonderful insects, but toucans, monkeys and the usual rain forest animals. Yet Belize is also logistically easy to visit and is accessible. It’s an Englishspeaking country; the flight is short. In fact, from Illinois, I can be in Belize faster than I can be in Los Angeles. And we have a wonderful venue, a lodge in the jungle with a large botanical garden and an owner who is also an insect enthusiast. » buzz: Whom would you recommend to explore insect photography and why? Any advice for the curious, yet squeamish bug-phobic? » AW: True story: I don’t like spiders — or, I didn’t like spiders. Even though as a naturalist I’ve always respected them, something about spiders just never sat right with me, as though I had an innate phobia. Yet I’ve come around to being much more tolerant, mostly through photographing them. For the squeamish, then, I definitely recommend taking up bug photography.

Most people gain a much greater appreciation for arthropods once they see them magnified.

What makes it unique? » TB: Our products are a must-buy because we produce them ourselves with strict attention paid to quality, flavor and heat. Many hot products these days are simply designed to be hot as a novelty. We work hard to provide quality and flavorful products using the best hot to super hot peppers. » buzz: Which product is your personal favorite and why? » TB: That is pretty tough, but I would say it is Volcano Dust 3, which is a blend of smoked and dehydrated super hot peppers. It is my favorite because it allows you to add a lot of heat and tasty pepper flavor to anything and it is easy to take with you. » buzz: What are some of the hottest peppers you use as ingredients in some of your products? » TB: The hottest peppers we use are the Bhut Jolokia (ghost pepper), the Trinidad Scorpion (currently listed as the hottest pepper) and the 7-Pot peppers. We make spice blends, pepper blends and sauces out of all of these peppers. » buzz: Are there any challenges you want to send out to the braver consumers at Blues, Brews and BBQ? » TB: We have products that can appeal to all spice levels. Come try our full line-up and you will be sure to walk away with a fire in your mouth from our all natural products. The super hot peppers are plenty hot and full of flavor, no need to use poor tasting extract sauces to get the burn you love. We are looking forward to firing up the Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival. —Quang Trang Sharon Davis-Devine aka Mamma D of Mamma D’s Smokehouse (430 Maple St., Weldon, Ill.) » buzz: What will Mamma D’s Smokehouse be vending at the event ? » SDD: Smoked pulled pork and smoked beef brisket tastes and sandwiches plus iced tea and lemonade. » buzz: Why should someone choose Mamma D’s Smokehouse? » SDD: With our unique blend of herbs and spices, Mamma D’s smoked meats are much more flavorful than any other barbecue restaurant available in central Illinois. » buzz: What makes a barbecue a memorable barbecue in the summer time? » SDD: Summer time is barbecue time. Whether you grill at home or come to Mamma D’s Smokehouse, there is nothing better then barbecued meat to make your summer complete and to spend quality time with friends and family. » buzz: What would you say are the top three meals Mamma D’s Smokehouse is recognized for? » SDD: Our most popular meals are smoked baby back ribs, smoked beef brisket platters and smoked pulled pork platters, all served with fresh-cut french fries, sweet potato chips or a homemade side. —Yele Ajayi (Read more interviews at readbuzz.com)
