Horse Thief BBQ at Grand Central Market



I love BBQ, although I don't have it that often.  After visiting places in the Midwest and South, it's hard to have good BBQ in Southern California.  Yes, we have tri-tip, baby back ribs, chicken, etc., but not many places here actually smoke meats.  We don't have brisket like in Texas, until Horse Thief BBQ opened that is...

Horse Thief BBQ is just outside of Downtown Los Angeles' Grand Central Market, just South of the Hill Street entrance.  On a nice day, it's great to have BBQ outdoors.

1/2 lb Brisket

 Nice smoke ring and bark.

One of the best briskets I've had West of Texas.


Spare Ribs

Had a nice crust on the outside and flavor.


Pulled Pork Sandwich

Great pulled pork too


Mac n Cheese

 I love mac and cheese with bbq.


Blue Cheese Potato Salad

If you like blue cheese, you'll love this salad
Pulled Pork Sandwich Combo
with two sides and
pickles & onions
$10.95

Loved that the BBQ comes with house-made pickles 
and onions and served on paper.
Brisket Taco
with red onions, jalapeños, and crema
on a flour tortilla.
(Daily Special)
1/4 lb Brisket
with a small Mac n Cheese
Lunch

Scored some of the point and got
some fatty slices.

Since they opened in July 2013, I've been about a dozen times.  They have great brisket and love the pulled pork sandwich too.  But I do go for the brisket, IMO one of the best West of Texas.  Horse Thief BBQ has outdoor seating, which seems to have more and more people each time I visit.  If you go, look for me having brisket or a pulled pork sandwich...

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+.

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
