Eat, Drink | $$$$$
An offshoot of one of LA’s original barbecue mainstays, Bludso’s is a haven for smoked meat platters, draft cocktails and a laid-back party vibe. Mounted TVs are usually turned to sports, and big metal trays are piled high with silky brisket, fiery hot links, and sticky pork ribs, plus pickles and great sides. And yes, do save room for homemade pie.
