Award-winning BBQ, rotating menu, banana pudding, Asian twists
"Run by a former restaurant chef, Zef BBQ is best known for hulking beef “dino ribs,” prime brisket, and Santa Maria-style tri-tip. But don’t overlook the creative side dishes, which flip from things like loaded mole fries to smoked curry cauliflower weekly. The only catch is the fairly complex ordering process: preorders are placed online on Wednesday mornings (before they sell out) and picked up on the weekend at a to-be-named location in Simi Valley." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"This weekly Simi Valley sensation is part pop-up, part restaurant, and part meme-generating Instagram sensation. Chef Logan Sandoval makes whatever he wants each week, including smash burgers, beef ribs, curry noodles, and smoked housemade Spam musubi. Check the rotating menu first but expect fast sellouts, long lines, and lots of banana pudding for dessert." - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang
"This weekly Simi Valley sensation is part pop-up, part restaurant, part meme-generating Instagram sensation. Chef Logan Sandoval makes whatever the heck he wants, every week, from smash burgers to beef ribs and curry noodles to smoked housemate Spam musubi — and the fans can’t get enough. Expect fast sellouts, long lines, and lots of banana pudding for dessert. Address provided after pre-ordering." - Farley Elliott
"I’m also impressed with Zef BBQ’s hybrid model, offering staple dishes and whatever else the heck they feel like — while also changing locations, doing one-off burger (and other stuff) days, and whatever feels right. It’s hard to innovate week after week in the pop-up space, and that team makes it look seamless." - Eater Staff
"Served in quart deli containers, the layered banana pudding at Zef BBQ is maybe the perfect after-barbecue dessert. Just sweet enough, just crunchy and fluffy and airy enough (thanks to lots of cream and vanilla wafers, respectively), it’s the perfect end-around to all that fattiness from Zef’s brisket and beef ribs." - Eater Staff
