Wow. It’s been way too long since I’ve made a post. It’s not that I haven’t been eating. I have and it’s starting to show a little at the waist. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up on the backlog soon. Anyways…on to the show!
Roadside BBQ. I’ve seen this place many times back in the days of Alpha Bar but I never thought thought that it would provide list-worthy BBQ. You see San Francisco isn’t really known as a BBQ destination. When you think good BBQ, you think Texas, Memphis, St. Louis….not California. So I was a bit skeptical, although excited to see how this would turn out. Unfortunately, after several months of chowing down on really good Texas BBQ in Houston, Roadside doesn’t quite live up the challenge and further enforces my opinion about California BBQ.
It’s not that the pulled pork sandwich wasn’t good. I did wolf it down in about 10 minutes flat. It’s just…well…just not memorable. Given that it’s been several months since I ate it, there wasn’t one thing about this sandwich that makes me want to say “YOU MUST TRY THIS SANDWICH!” My only memories of it were that 1) it was dry despite the BBQ sauce and coleslaw and 2) I needed to drench this thing in extra BBQ sauce to make it easier to swallow. That is all I can say.
So after a disappointing sandwich, I thought maybe banana cream pie could make it better. I mean I am a total sucker for this stuff so this should have been easy. Unfortunately, again it was kind of a letdown. Sure it wasn’t bad but somehow a Nation’s banana cream pie is more memorable than this. Something has to be wrong. Eh…I guess you can’t win ‘em all.
