California Has a Signature Barbecue Style on the Central Coast
"A weekend-only eatery outside Bodega in Los Alamos, Priedite Barbecue is the newest addition to the Central Coast barbecue scene and I can see why word of mouth and social media have spread its reputation. Nick Priedite, the owner and pitmaster, runs a pop-up here and emphasizes maintaining the Santa Maria tradition by cooking everything over red coastal live oak and dry-rubbing meats with a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic. The menu changes by day — tri-tip on Thursdays, barbecue on Saturdays, and burgers on Sundays — so each visit can offer something different." - Natalie Zimmerman
