Bludsos BBQ
Originally launched in Compton, pitmaster Kevin Bludso moved his acclaimed Texas-style smokehouse to a spacious picnic-bench-filled space on La Brea, and his cookbook earned a 2023 James Beard Award for American Cooking. The pork ribs smoke low and slow over white oak for up to 14 hours, developing a deep bark and smoke ring while the meat stays pull-clean tender from the bone. Party trays feature prime brisket, pulled pork, hot links, and rotating sides built to feed groups. Order the pork ribs platter with baked beans and a side of hot links.
