This ain't BBQ country around here.

Northern California has some BBQ joints. Not a lot. I was happy to see a new place open near by. However I am thinking that some of the customers might not be used to BBQ with this warning. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361332406.351641.jpg

Only in Cali!! LOL!

Pyle's BBQ · 02-19-2013, 09:57 PM

Not only in CA. There are people all over that think the meat is not done. That is a general notice I have seen before.

BBQ Bandit · 02-19-2013, 09:59 PM

Yup... that's the clue some people do not know what bbq is or what it looks like.

Limp Brisket · 02-19-2013, 10:00 PM

When I smoke burgers for a crowd I always explain this.

Edit: Only in Cali would this need to be placed on the menu! LOL

There, better?

The smoked tri-tip was quite pink and quite tasty.

Kloogee · 02-19-2013, 10:09 PM

There is a place around here where the wait staff asks if its your first time there or not. If it's your first time, they verbally give you the same warning.

Big M1ke · 02-19-2013, 10:16 PM

I've seen that around here before as well.

fnbish · 02-19-2013, 10:32 PM

Thought you were talking about the fact that a bbq place has Cafe Latte and Cafe Mocha on the menu

It is a bare bones place I thought that was odd also. Although here in Cali you can get a Latte almost anywhere.

Maybe they got sued.

landarc · 02-19-2013, 11:29 PM

No, what happened is what happened at Matt's, folks return the meat. It only takes one or two days of folks bringing meat back, wanting their money refunded, saying it is red and they don't eat raw meat to make you put a sign on the menu explaining the smoked meats have a smoke ring and a reddish hue..

And it isn't just here in California, as much as you guys love to poke at us, you might want to remember that around half of our population is less than one full generation from immigrating here. I know more people from the south and east here, than I know born here. Further, I think this is more of a comment on how few places really smoke their meats, that the idea of a reddish hue to the meat, or a smoke ring, confuses people.

I've seen it in Florida especailly with poultry. We just have to eduacate the masses!

Pyle's BBQ · 02-19-2013, 11:37 PM

Bob is right. Places in the "big city" have these signs because people don't know any better.

I was pointing out that the OP is not just a Cali thing.

I know how you Cali guys like being called Cali.
