Real Californian Barbecue |
576 Haight Street San Francisco, CA 94117 +1 415 864 7675 http://www.www.memphisminnies.com |
Down in the Lower Haight amongst the marijuana grow clubs, neighborhood bars, and screaming transients, sits a wide array of restaurants that draw customers in by smell alone. But at the top of this list is a bright red building emitting the smell of slow cooked pork with bright lights shining down on a sign reading, "Memphis Minnie's". Owner Bob Kantor opened Minnie's after traveling the country on a kind of barbecue odyssey, searching for the ideal recipe that would please both the infamously attuned taste buds of bay area foodies, as well as those amongst us who scour every halogen lit barbecue joint on earth looking for the perfect set of ribs. Through his travels he perfected his "'cueing" technique (cooking the meat from four to 18 hours, leaving the sauce off the meat) and developed a unique menu that goes beyond the old BBQ standards. For instance, dishes such as the Texas Beef-Brisket Chili Cheese Fries, or Macaroni and Cheese are often paired with Sake, and the traditional side of grits is supplemented with asiago cheese. Next time you're in the Lower Haight, stop in to Memphis Minnie's for some distinctly Californian Barbecue, or grab the local-favorite pastrami sandwich (Wednesdays only) and head down to the Toronado Pub for a pint of IPA to wash it down.
