Last week I got a tweet asking if I had ever eaten at “Baby Blues BBQ” in San Francisco. Since I hadn’t, I figured it was as good a time as any to venture over the Bay Bridge with my BBQ Buddy “Landarc” and give it a try. As we drove down Mission we had high hopes. Some of the best BBQ joints are in the more colorful parts of town. And Baby Blues BBQ is in one of the most colorful areas of one of the most colorful cities on Earth.
