There is nothing like celebrating Juneteenth in Evanston! Photos as we lined up for the parade and of me as the grand marshall. Beautiful weather and a warm vibe all around. Really, I think Hecky orchestrated this event on his favorite holiday!😊

Looking forward to Sunday, June 18th - which is not only Father's Day, but the day Hecky's Barbecue will be among several African American vendors at Wrigley Field in honor of Juneteenth! The Chicago Cubs will be playing and plan to acknowledge us during the game. Below is my headshot which will be flashed on the screens. Exciting time on one of my favorite holidays!😊

More than 35 years later, Hecky's is still doing what we do best -- and then some! Our menu has expanded and our kitchen is bigger than ever. But the best thing about our business growing? We've been able to help our community thrive along with us. We're proud to sponsor community initiatives, host charity events, and employ local young people at our place. It's just our way of saying "thanks" for letting us make life a little more delicious.
