California



In California, you can find barbecued tofu, vegetables, and other surprising things. They're more likely to grill than to barbecue like we do.

Still, it's possible to find recognizable barbecue in California. At Woodranch BBQ & Grill in California they focus on fancy meats, like tri tip roast, baby back pork ribs, and free range chicken. Appropiately for California, you can order your ribs as a "light platter." Their process involves slow roasting the meat overnight and grilling it over live mesquite with their BBQ sauce. Side dishes range from skillet baked beans to original peanut cole slaw and mesquite grilled corn. One selling point they use is the number of celebrities who eat there.

Barbecue in California--who'd have guessed? Now can we get some avocado and sprouts with that?
