"Northern California native Wyatt Fields opened Breakwater Barbecue in his seaside hometown just outside Half Moon Bay in 2020. Three years later, the restaurant has become nationally known for its menu of Texas-style barbecue including slow-smoked brisket with onyx-colored bark and snappy house-made sausages. In 2023, the restaurant earned a nod in the Michelin Guide, which praised dishes including the smoky-spicy chili and sides of potato salad and beans. For a non-barbecue option, try the burger, which sports a “semi-smashed” patty of ground brisket." - Cathy Park
