Fluffy celebrity photo item to begin the morning: wander into the kitchen while looking for the restroom at New York’s Hill Country Barbecue Market and you’ll see a name from home— Lee Ann Whippen, of Chicago Q and TLC’s “BBQ Pitmasters.” After dining there Monday, she signed the “beef smoker’s wall of fame” at the Texas-themed spot in the name of her competition team, Wood Chicks BBQ, and had her picture taken with pitmaster Evan LeRoy.
