Jerk Chicago Trivia Night Frigid and Damp

Chicago in January is a test of character. The wind chill was brutal, the sidewalks were treacherous, and a reasonable person would have stayed home. But our trivia faithful are not reasonable people — they are competitive people, and they showed up.

The smaller crowd meant the competition was even more intense per capita. Every table was locked in. The warm rum cocktails and smoked brisket helped keep morale high through a tough night on the weather front.

If you brave a January trivia night at Jerk. BBQ, you earn something beyond the prize money: the knowledge that you are exactly the kind of person who shows up when others don't.
