Lillie's Q

Award-winning Southern barbecue

Lillie's Q is a Chicago barbecue brand founded by Chef Charlie McKenna, a two-time Memphis in May World Barbecue Champion who named it after his grandmother, Lillie.

The range bottles regional Southern barbecue: Smoky and Hot Smoky in the sweet Memphis style, a tangy Western Carolina tomato-vinegar sauce and a South Carolina mustard Gold, plus four shakers — Carolina Dirt, Q-Rub, Steak Butter and Hot Chicken.

Brush the sauces over ribs, fold them through pulled pork or glaze chicken off the smoker; the shakers cover everything from brisket bark to Nashville hot chicken.

The Carolina Barbeque Sauce took first place for vinegar sauce at the 2024 World BBQ Championship, and Carolina Dirt was the rub behind Lillie's Q's 2016 Memphis in May title.

Made in the USA from all-natural ingredients — serious regional barbecue, shipped flat $10 Australia-wide.
