L.A. BBQ A-OK

April 11, 2006 at 3:24 PM | 0 Comments

Everyone knows that the center of the barbeque universe is not on either of America's coasts. It's in the barbeque belt, running from North Carolina in the east, through Tennessee to Kansas City in the west and Texas in the south. That doesn't preclude the rest of the U.S. from staying on top of the smoked and sauced order of things, though.

BBQ Junkie covers the yes-it-does-too-exist Los Angeles barbeque scene, from restaurants to actual competitions. The most recent visit was to Tasty Q on Crenshaw, which was rated some of the best in L.A. That's believable, though in general we are a believer in Memphis-style dry rub seasoning. Luckily, Tasty Q does have a drive-thru window, allowing Angelenos to eat ribs in the austere sanctity of their cars. Yum.
