The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater LA

"Erik Piedrahita, formerly the executive sous chef at the now-closed Bon Temps, has been doing these wonderful family barbecue meals for the past five weeks, selling about 15 sets a weekend via Instagram. The fine dining veteran built a backyard grilling and Santa Maria barbecue setup in his father’s house during the pandemic, unleashing his skills into Neighborhood BBQ. This week’s feast included sweet-sticky pork ribs, a fresh little gem salad with peach slices and sunflower seeds, charred corn, and possibly the densest, most flavor-packed mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The cornbread probably needed a second warming, which we couldn’t do while at Griffith Park, but it helped round out the meal. Neighborhood BBQ doesn’t require any actually grilling which makes it picnic-ready." - Eater Staff
