Every weekday I drive past Little Nick's BBQ on Auburn St. in Rockford on my way to and from work, and now I am beyond ashamed to admit that I have yet to stop there and grab some food.

I will now admit that outside of enjoying great BBQ, I don't know much about what it takes to make it, much less make it GREAT, but Little Nick certainly does!

After further research, I gathered that Little Nick's BBQ was part of a larger competition cooking team called Boar's Night Out, which started out as a group of newly-divorced guys who liked to cook and have fun. The team now includes barbecue experts from all across the nation (we see you, Pit Master Thad), and they are KILLING IT on the competition circuit!
