Take it Outside, people!

The Brits have their “barbecue”; Australians have their “Barbie” and South Africans have their “Braai”. It is a word recognized in each one of their 11 official languages. In the USA, say “BBQ” and many people are reminded of epic 4th of July cookouts featuring pulled pork, brisket, wings, and baby-back ribs with traditional sides like coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad, and baked beans. There are several bustling BBQ joints right here in San Francisco where you can enjoy your pick of regional treats such as Memphis sweet smoked pork and slow-smoked Texas beef brisket – flavorful meats enhanced with a touch of nostalgia and tradition.
