Second the motion for frozen Lou Malnati's. We've bought the frozen pies both online and in person before, and they are delicious baked.

Lou's is the favorite Chicago pizza of myself and all my acquaintances. There is a location near an exit on the Northwest Tollway west of O'Hare that we've frequently stopped at on our way to and from Michigan.
That's the one we went to when I was a kid. I grew up in that area.

One other thing I've not figured out, when I go back to Ca. I've yet to find a BBQ place I'm excited about. And I've had two great briskets in NY, so why can't Oakland get some lost Texan or Southerner who can do that worth a crap?
most folks that are good at BBQ are not liberals and do not want to pay more taxes.
sorry

Ha!

But, why would one be able to find good brisket in NY then? :)

Sure. But I don’t need most folks. I need a few folks. If NYC can have that, damn sure we can. 

(The intersections are interesting. Austin has good BBQ. Folks from traditionally left-leaning demos are often good at BBQ. And even in a competitive market, some foodie jack wagon will pay $22 for a 2-meat plate. Shoot, we got a new place where I pay near that much now, and this part of the world is right in that wheelhouse)

The good thing about BBQ is that it can be pretty easy to do yourself, then you don't have to full around paying 22 bucks for a plate.  Heck, Kroger had a special of brisket for 2 bucks a pound the other day - I cooked a whole 14 pound brisket for 24 bucks.  That'll get you more than 1 plate.

The majority of people in Central Texas that are cooking good BBQ, aren't left-leaning, I can promise you that.  Austin may be a liberal town, but the stereotype of a meat-eating, gun-toting Texan isn't far off when it comes to the people that actually own and cook at BBQ restaurants.  Aaron Franklin being a notable exception, of course.  But he's certainly not representative.

For sure, it's way cheaper to make your own.  But not everyone wants to invest 8-16 hours smoking a brisket on their own, every time they want some delicious brisket.  I love making BBQ, but not even I want to do it myself every time I have a hankering.  Good thing I have plenty of good bbq joints all around me.

This. 

Come on down to SoCal, @bayareabadger with a case of Russian River Blind Pig IPA in tow, and I'll show ya the ropes ;-) 

That said, I think part of it is that people here in CA don't even know what good BBQ is. People think if you slap BBQ sauce on something it's BBQ. The issue will be that outside of the aficionados who REALLY know BBQ, the good BBQ won't distinguish itself from the mediocre BBQ joints. 

I think of it similar to where beer was a decade ago. Places like CA, OR, CO, MI, and portions of the Northeast had great beer. In those areas, very few breweries weren't good, because they were a stone's throw from a place with much better beer, and any consumer that tried both learned the difference pretty quickly. Outside of those places, there were breweries and brewpubs, but a lot of them frankly sucked. The reason for it is that people didn't know the difference between good and bad craft beer, so the bad breweries could survive more on novelty than on quality. It's now grown to the point where palates have gotten better across the country such that bad craft beer is called out as bad craft beer, and everyone has had to up their game, regardless of where they're located. 

I don't think BBQ has hit that inflection point yet. Mediocre BBQ in Texas will get run out of town. Mediocre BBQ in California will make the owner rich. 

Hence Lucille's

I'm afraid to try the BBQ out here.  

Of course Columbus only had decent BBQ for the last 10 to 15 years or so. Before that Damon's was about as good as it got, which is not good.

it's a shame, there was a very good BBQ place, but it closed about 5 years ago.

I was trying to dance around it. I was under the impression there were a not insignificant number of black pit masters. But I might be wrong there.

Time for a career change. Now is the perfect time to open a restaurant.

Tell you what, let's both move to a tropical island in the Carribbean, and I'll make all the BBQ either one of us can eat.
