   Regarding the question about Flames in Northridge, this place is worth a try. Not as authentic or as old as some of the others in the valley, but the baby back ribs are tender and juicy and the sauce is decent. They don’t have brisket, but they make shredded chicken, tri-tip and pulled pork sandwiches that are almost perfect for my taste. They’ve had some off-days but they beat Rosie’s and Gandpa Fred’s hands-down.

   Burrell’s in Santa Ana rocks. Down home feel, located right in the middle of a residential neighorhood. The outside dining area is really cool with the shade trees and fountains made from old barrels. Had the chopped pork shoulder with the spicy sauce and some great slaw. MMMMMMM. Will definitely be going back.

   Baby Blues was great until a cook from south of the border began to make everthing too spicy.- Thousand Oaks Meat Locker is good and low cost. They grill and some smoke, over wood.- The Swinging Door is now outstanding but located on Vanowen and Vineland and no AC DURING THE SUMMER. They smoke bbq all meats for at least 5-9 hrs.- Ranchhouse in VN. is barly ok. No smoke.- Hogley Wog. is ok if you just want alot of meat. Meat is cooked in an oven; no smoke or wood or charcoal. But if your hungry, it is tasty.-Bear Pit, ok ; only go if in the area; has good and bad days. They bbq with some smoke. Avoid brisket and tri-tip, too dry. -Grandpa Fred, unfriendly employees. Food so,so.- Willy’s, in Agoura, smokes all meat for a looong time. This place is the best of all the places I’ve been to. Or, if your home on a Sat or Sun smoke two or three pork butts (shoulder) tritip or brisket at 200-250 degrees for 8-11hrs with pear wood to smoke with a charcoal starter. Wrap all meat the last two-three hours in foil. I wouldnt sell mine for $200, but I do my neighbors.

1. BBQ Junkie - a Los Angeles barbecue odyssey » Dr. Hogly Wogly’s - 15. Aug, 2005

   [...] Dr. Hogly Wogly’s is recognized as one of Los Angeles’ foremost BBQ destinations. Although it claims to by Tyler Texas style BBQ, this San Fernando Valley restaurant has become a significant ingredient in the Los Angeles barbecue vernacular. If you aren’t the type of person who likes to barbecue, or perhaps doesn’t have the time to barbecue, but are a fan of barbecue, I would recommend going to see the Doctor. There are many offerings on the menu such a spare ribs, center cut spare ribs, beef ribs, brisket, chicken, links and more. You get two choice of barbecue sauce that are place on the table not the meat, mild and spicy. They have the standard assortment of flavorsome side dishes, potato salad, slaw, baked beans and macaroni salad. Most places you either have good barbecue and dreadful side dishes or visa versa. They also offer a pretty good sweet potato pie… one recommendation is that you don’t get it warmed up, or maybe that’s just me. [...]
