I believe Bones burned to the ground a few weeks ago.

Jernewm is correct. The BBQ place in Gualala (Bones) is the best in “Almost Sonoma” County. They also have the best, if not only, bbq’d beef ribs around. A great stop with a great ocean view…Oh…Their side of beans is fantastic.

Had lunch at It’s the Pits BBQ in Sebastopol. Excellent food, very nice location, helpful people. Pork, brisket and chicken all had very good, balanced flavors. Sides were done well. Portion size on the medium to small side. Off to a terrific start. Hope they stay in Sebastopol a long time.

As a BBQ fan and lover of bar-b-qued brisket, I tried the new BBQ in Sebastopol. Taking into consideration that I got it as take out, I found the brisket to be tasty with a decent smoke flavor. It was trimmed pretty well (brisket can be fatty). However, it was dry and portion was not worth what they charged. I also found the potato salad to be so-so, but the cole slaw was just the way I like it. The corn bread was also very good.
I hope I was there on a bad day. Next time I’ll eat it there and see if is better. It would be nice to have a good BBQ in the Santa Rosa/Sebastopol area that serves good brisket and maybe some good beef ribs (hard to find) that’s close to as good as I can cook at home. So far the closest I’ve found is in Gualala, but that’s a little far to go for dinner after work.

Had lunch at ITs The Pits BBQ yesterday – I eat alot of bbq – while the smoked meats had great flavor, $ 7.95 for a sandwich with little meat on it is not fair to the buyer – the bun sucked (cheap hamburger bun) – why not some type of locally made roll? We didnt have enough with the small sandwiches, so ordered pork ribs with my friend; the ribs were tender, nice smoke ring, but salty finish on them – With a little tweaking this place could be good, just better quality control and increased portion size is required.

That was an article about expansion, not on Bite Club – try the business section!

Speaking of BBQ – there is a rumor that Blazing Saddles has shuttered their restaurant all of a sudden? Fact or Myth?
