A Meat Lover’s Guide to the Best Barbecue Joints in the Bay Area

"KaoKao Grill founder Tony Huang comes from a restaurant family — the folks behind Huangcheng Noodle House — and he’s drawing inspiration from big, backyard barbecues at this “East meets West” barbecue joint. Try the 24-hour brined char siu, which gets grilled over charcoal before being smoked over oak and cherry woods for five to six hours." - Eater Staff
