🍻🔥 Restaurant Spotlight: Duke’s Alehouse & Kitchen 🔥🍻

This one’s for the people who appreciate food that doesn’t follow the rules.

We’re excited to welcome Duke's Alehouse and Kitchen to the Barnyard Battle Cook-Off, a trendy, eco-conscious gastro-pub known for bold flavors, creative menus, and doing things a little differently.

At Duke’s, you’ll find gourmet burgers, artisan sandwiches, fresh salads, and elevated comfort food, all crafted with sustainable ingredients sourced from local producers. Behind the bar, they feature 100+ craft brews and Belgian ales, along with an award-winning cocktail program, wines, and mocktails that keep things just as interesting as the food.

It’s the kind of place where there’s always something happening: live music, events, and a vibrant atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

Now, they’re bringing that same energy into the Barnyard Battle.

No menu safety nets.
No second chances.
Just one dish to make an impression.

Duke’s will be competing alongside other restaurants, judged by our panel of 3 professional chefs and a crowd ready to taste something unforgettable.

🍕🏆 Restaurant Spotlight: Hitz Pub & Eatery (Mundelein) 🏆🍕

Some places earn their reputation, and then live up to it every single time.

That’s Hitz Pub and Eatery.

Known across Lake County for their award-winning pizza and chef-driven pub fare, Hitz has built a loyal following with food that’s anything but ordinary, from their signature thin crust and deep dish pizzas to bold small plates, wings, and hearty favorites made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.

But what really sets Hitz apart is the feeling you get when you walk in: welcoming, energetic, and built around bringing people together. It’s the kind of place where meals turn into memories.

Now, they’re stepping into a different kind of spotlight.

No menu to fall back on.
No second chances.
Just one dish… in front of a packed barn.

Hitz will be competing in the Barnyard Battle Cook-Off alongside other incredible restaurants, judged by our panel of 3 professional chefs, and a crowd that knows good food when they taste it.

This is where reputation meets the moment.

🔥 A team known for delivering
🎶 A room full of energy
🐴 A cause that brings it all together!

Hitz, we know you’re bringing something special.
