"Melty pork ribs, hot links, and smoked jalapeño mac and cheese all smashed on a metal tray sounds like a solid way to kick off the week, and you can eat those things at Wood Shop. This Central District restaurant is one of the best BBQ spots in town, and the fact that they operate on Mondays just sweetens the pot. Grab a beer and some crispy mac and cheese balls at the bar, or hang out on the patio with a full spread if it's nice out. (The backyard is covered in the winter, too.)" - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
