"Ray’s BBQ in Huntington Park serves Texas-style smoked meats that rival ones made in the Lone Star state. Here, you’ll eat pulled pork cut to order and an extra-fatty brisket encrusted in black pepper that tastes like it was smooched by a big ol’ pillar of smoke. For those who have spent their formative years planted next to the biggest speaker at raves, there’s a nice breezy patio that’s usually filled with the sounds of children and cars whizzing past. Voices seem to get drowned out by everything else around it, so there’s no need to break a sweat when your friend inevitably starts shouting about their latest traumatic Airbnb experience.
