Any serious BBQ to recommend in SF/Bay Area? Hosting a Texas native - and need to impress.
Thanks for all the responses! I appreciate the recomendations from those that delivered suggestions (as opposed to unecessary criticisms about trying to locate local Q). Memphis Minnies was a success. Good find - especially if I ever feel the urge to indulge in BBQ w/o said Texan friend.

Hi - am hosting a Texan native and recent Louisiana transplant who is convinced that - while SF has good eats - there will be no decent BBQ in town. Any suggestions? Thanks!
True ricotta cheese in South Bay area?
Can anyone point me in the direction of finding some true, fresh ricotta cheese (not the crud in the tubs at Safeway) for my Christmas Eve cannoli? Would be extremely grateful.
NY'er heading to Santa Clara-a few q's
If you are flying out of San Jose, I'd suggest heading over to Restaurant James Randall in Los Gatos. Its only about a 20 minute cab ride from there to the airport (and at 9pm you'll be traffic free). It's a small place - family run - but beautiful, fresh local food, prix fixe menu and exceptional wine pairing. No liquor. Call and ask for Brenda (owner). Actually this Tuesday they are hosting their March Winemaker dinner with Tony Craig (known for his Pinot Noir). This is NOT an ad - but a favorite restaurant found by a recent NYC transplant. - Jennifer
