About Pork & Mindy's
Pork & Mindy's is a creative BBQ concept led by Founder Kevin Corsello and Executive Chef and Food Network star Jeff Mauro. Together, they began shaping a vision for a brand that, at its core, would satisfy "the holy grail" of experiences and do what food, music and art has always done: bring people together. Feeling homesick for quality BBQ, Corsello dreamed of this "holy grail" and joined forces with long-time friend and Emmy-nominated Celebrity Chef Mauro, turning this dream into a reality. Just two Italian kids from Chicago who are happiest behind a grill or slow-smoker. With one-of-a-kind flavor profiles using natural, simple ingredients free of hormones and antibiotics, Pork & Mindy's meats are slow-smoked to create the perfect texture, and layered with signature sauces and toppings, creating sandwiches unlike anywhere else.

In addition to its Wicker Park flagship location, the concept is expanding nationwide, with plans to open 50 locations by 2020. The renowned brand also has a line of signature BBQ sauces including Sweet Sauce, Sweet Heat Sauce, and Mustard Sauce, available at select Midwest retailers and online.
