Agree on Hard 8, although you will have a smoky smell afterwards. They have this huge grill with lots of wood smoke. I also really like how everything is same price per lbs, so you can do a sampling and they just weight the whole plate.
Mikes Chicken is Legit. Loro is cool (mash up of Franklins BBQ and the Uchi guy.) Eataly with blow your mind and Tera (the restaurant there) is fantastic.
