Briny Swine brings South Carolina sea-side barbecue to Chicago

Chicago boasts plenty of tasty barbecue from all over the country, but we've long lacked representation from seaside South Carolina.

What's happening: Edisto Islanders Brandon and Katherine Rushing filled that niche last weekend, opening Briny Swine Smokehouse and Oyster Bar in Lincoln Park .

• This is their first Briny outpost outside South Carolina.

Dig in: The menu includes Oakwood smoked beef brisket ($26), pulled pork ($21) and ribs ($29) with five sauces including the mustardy "Alabama white."

• Seafood, including shrimp boils, oysters and she-crab soup.
• Also, Carolina specialties like boiled peanuts ($8), cornbread with sorghum butter ($9), and hash and rice ($5).

Drink up: Cocktails offered include a boiled peanut martini and low-country margarita ($13), craft beer ($7), whiskey flights ($26) and wine.

Listen in: Check out live music on the weekends in one of Briny's three dining rooms.
