Leon Finney Sr Pic_edited.jpg

​Leon Finney Sr is considered to be a "pioneer" of Chicago-style barbecue which adapted Southern cooking styles. He taught the Bracy's of Barbara Ann's Bar-B-Que how to use the "aquarium smoker", a type of smoker invented in Chicago during the mid-century. He was known for driving a beige Rolls-Royce with the license plate "LEON RIB". The Original Leon's Bar-B-Que Restaurants have won several awards, and has been been featured in several prominent eatery magazines and local television shows. While not originally from Chicago Denzel Washington has strong family ties and very fond memories of his family taking him to Leons Bar-B-Que!
