"Owner and pitmaster Bradley “Coop” Cooper keeps his restaurant — known for standout ribs and brisket — open on weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until the food is sold out. A Lemon Grove barbecue standout, the community raves about Coop’s combination plates with one meat choice and two sides (there is a $3 additional charge for beef brisket, pulled pork, and ribs). Sandwiches with beef brisket, jerk chicken, and Texas sausage on a warm brioche bun are also offered. For catering information or to order online, visit its website." - Paolo Bicchieri
