Experience

John Carruthers is the communications manager for Revolution Brewing and a contributor to The Takeout. He also makes and sells pizzas out of an alley to raise money for community organizations working to make Chicago a better place to live. He's the author of ManBQue: Meat. Beer. Rock&Roll. and Eat Street, as well as a contributor to The Chicago Food Encyclopedia. He's cooked in bowling alleys, arcades, and abandoned convents. He also has handsome certificates attesting to his study in the subjects of both beer and hot dogs, confirming many of the Midwestern stereotypes you hold dear. He lives a decent walk up the road from Wrigley Field, and once made smoked pork shoulder for the rock band The Breeders.
