Hot Johnnie's Smokehouse is a Castro neighborhood BBQ spot in San Francisco opened in 2021, specializing in pastrami made through a two-week small-batch curing and slow-smoking process entirely in-house. Owner Jonathan Young's Texas toast pastrami sandwich has been called one of the best sandwiches in the city, and the menu has since expanded to include brisket, ribs, porchetta, and chicken wings. The restaurant also hosts a monthly drag brunch and features a spacious back patio, making it a community gathering spot in the heart of the Castro.
