"After serving barbecue in Berkeley for 50 years, KC’s BBQ says it received a city notice of violation ordering it to stop using its smoker immediately; the family-owned, Black-owned restaurant posted a Change.org petition calling on the community for support and outlined a series of inspections and neighbor complaints despite the smoker being permitted when the restaurant first opened last summer, and its original location was destroyed in a fire." - Janelle Bitker
