Got to agree about one thing, though — the one thing that the Occupy movement could do to become an immediate success would be to put a meat smoker in every encampment and offer BBQ at anti-capitalist prices.

You want cheap-ass, letter-perfect, country-cornpone, white-trash style BBQ (with white bread, no doubt) in the middle of San Francisco (or even California)?! Dream on, sucker. Not on expensive real estate.

Gorilla’s BBQ in the little train car on 1 north of Pacifica was nice…we drove across the hiway to the parking lot of the little beach/surf break -Rockaway Beach, maybe?- and ate in the damn car. Awesome. With beer. The Whisky is a good idea though, and that hella gnarly little gristly cafeteria it replaced was super sketchy.

Not liking something one hasn’t tried is a dead giveaway for a closed mind.

They are full of drunk, fools riotously rooting for sports none of them can actually play due to their beer bellies and smoking habits. I’m in agreement with the rest. Ditch the tv’s.

After applying the standard SF price multiplier, these guys aren’t off-base pricewise for BBQ made by somebody who knows what they’re doing using good ingredients. I’m Georgia born and raised, so I’ve certainly eaten my fair share. Now I just gotta find the time to try these guys out and find out if they’re worth what they’re asking…
