Jake Smith: Drink some Maker's Mark; rumor has it the neon sign out front was custom made by Maker's and given to the bar because they sold such a high volume of the Bourbon brand.

Jake Smith: In Michael Mann's "Thief" (1981), the title character (played by James Caan) owns the Green Mill. Go rent it to see what happens to the bar at the climax of the film.

Jake Smith: Not only did they name a burger after the greatest band of all-time, its toppings are exactly what I love on a burger (pulled pork, bacon, cheddar, pickles). Order a Led Zeppelin and a grape soda.

Jake Smith: A pulled pork sandwich truly done right - huge hunks of meat on a delicious bun. A nearly perfect sauce. Points deducted for the coleslaw though, it's more like an onion salad.

Jake Smith: The Pulled Pork sandwich is delectable and "The Q" uses the PERFECT bun. Try it with the South Carolina Mustard sauce; I couldn't get enough. Is this the best Pulled Pork in Chicago? It might be.
