Well I am going out to San Diego for an early Christmas with my older sister and her family. I was wondering if there were any good bbq joints there.

I will be staying at their house in Coronado but will have access to one of their vehicles, so driving won't be an issue.

Phil's BBQ do awesome stuff, lived their beef ribs and tri-tip.

I have been wanting to try Cali Comfort in Spring Valley http://www.calicomfortsd.com/ for a while. They have worked with Gene Goycochea, a fixture in the bbq scene (both CBBQA and KCBS), and that is good enough for me to give them a shot.

Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to hit up one if not both of them up!

I have given up on BBQ joints in my area but will have to try out Cali Comfort for sure.
I can smell the Phils BBQ in North County from my house (slight exaggeration) but I have had a couple of disappointing experiences so I do not go any more. I may have become a BBQ snob so your mileage may vary.

I liked Phil's beef ribs, but not so much their BBQ'd chicken. BIG ribs and SMALL chickens! With all the sea-gulls around the place I'm wondering if they supplement the chicken with other birds of a-feather?!?

Not the best, but it is what it is...

You want to go to:

When Pigs Fly in Vista
http://whenpigsflybbqandcatering.com/
Dale and Tammy Ginos are competitors and great people

Also check out Brazen BBQ
http://www.brazenbbq.com/
John Bracamonte and Brad Evans are also from the competition trail and do great stuff.

Finally Check out My man Coop at Coop's West Texas BBQ
http://coopsbbq.com/
Great stuff and great folk

Go to all of these places, find the owners and tell them Bigmista sent you!
(Seriously, I don't know if that will do anything but give it a shot anyway!)

Now that is a great list to go on. Since I'm going to be cooking some BBQ for my niece and nephew while I'm out there, I will probably only get to go to 1-2 places. But it will be from this list I'm 100% sure.

On the seafood side, stop in at the Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill.
