There's a great BBQ spot in SF called Memphis Minnie's
Bob died..........apparently the way any good pitmaster should....from a heart attack.
Yep. It sucks, he was cool as shit.
Yes he was- we started going there shortly after he opened the Haight Street place- I think he operated out of the back of a bar before then- and he had time to philosophize about BBQ.
I was never as fond of his sauces- but as Bob told us many times- if BBQ needs a sauce- its not good BBQ.
In my opinion- a California boy who ate lots of BBQ in SC, NC, GA and TN- its still the best BBQ in SF
