[quote=Rich Toscano]I like Brett’s BBQ in Encinitas. Phil’s is decent but it isn’t really “BBQ” in the traditional sense (not nearly enough smoke flavoring, no “bark,” and the sauce is more like a sweet and sour sauce than BBQ sauce). Come to think of it Brett’s is really the only place in SD County I’ve tried that IS traditional BBQ, and I have tried a lot.[/quote]

Have you ever been to Dinasaur BBQ in Syracuse?

That’s the standard I use for good bbq. I’ll have to give Bretts and Phil’s a try to compare.
