Oakland BBQ Documentary
Check out this 2 part short documentary film about Barry (Alex) and Carolyn Alexander who run the Brick Pig’s House in Oakland. Andrew and I visited this joint just a few days after it opened and didn’t think very much of it. More than two years later, though, it’s still around, and gets pretty glowing reviews on Yelp. I’m not one to put too much stock in Yelp, but then again the Brick Pig’s House is rated higher than a lot of other area places that we like, so we’ll have to give it another shot. And everyone notes the same thing that we did when we went in there: Alex and Carolyn are about the two nicest people you’ll ever meet.
Anyway, these 10 minutes cover some interesting ground, including a view of Oakland’s BBQ history:
