'When pigs fly'

In honor of the Chicago Bears heading to the playoffs, fast-casual barbecue joint Q-BBQ is set to serve hickory-smoked pork wings from Friday, Jan. 4, through Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3. “A lot of people were saying the Bears would win the Super Bowl when pigs fly,” John Rot, managing partner of Q-BBQ, said in a prepared statement. Now diners can taste the pork wings - dry-rubbed with Q-BBQ's Memphis or spicy seasoning and tossed with Q-BBQ's signature sweet, spicy or vinegar sauces - on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. It's $9.99 for five wings with a side of ranch dressing, while supplies last. Q-BBQ is located at 103 S. Main St., Naperville, (630) 637-6400; 70 S. La Grange Road, La Grange, (708) 482-8700; and 124 N. Marion St., Oak Park, (708) 628-3421. q-bbq.com/home.
