Here is reason #549 to LOVE the East Bay and especially OAKLAND – B Side BBQ! The food choices here are off the hook. Located in West Oakland (Yup, that’s right in “the hood”), Chef-Extraordinaire, Tanya Holland, who also owns Brown Sugar Kitchen has opened this cool, new joint. What style BBQ is it? Well, I don’t know but it’s good and it even impressed my hubby and he is from Texas. Of course, my daughter devoured the Mac-N-Cheese. Way to go West Oakland! Go check them out at 3303 San Pablo.
