BBQ seems to be something that everyone can associate with. There are various types of BBQ, something to fit everyone's tastes. Porky's has been widely regarded as one of the best BBQ restaurants in Southern California. They specialize in pulled pork and pork ribs, but also serve beef and chicken. Their BBQ is dry rubbed and smoked for up to 20 hours over hickory wood.

The pulled pork sandwich is overflowing with luscious, slowly smoked pork butt that has been dry rubbed. It is topped with coleslaw and just a hint of BBQ sauce. The sauce is a little tangy and not too spicy. The sandwich has to contain at least a half pound of smoky pig. There is just enough fat on it to glisten your lips and give it that extra flavor. The only thing that could be better was if the meat was hot, but they take it right off the smoker and serve it at that temperature, otherwise that juices would evaporate with the added heat.

The yams are very Southern style, loaded with butter and brown sugar. There was just a little too much butter for my taste, and its heavily seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg. It's almost like a mini dessert in a bowl.

They even have Golden Bird Fried Chicken, and chicken and waffles for adventurous types.

Porky's truly is one of the best BBQ places in town.

Great Golden Bird chicken

Well, I didn't get the BBQ, but I got the Golden Bird Fried Chicken. Can I tell you how good this fried chicken is? It is the best fried chicken that I have had in my entire life. The breast meat, which is usually dry, was incredibly moist and juicy, and the breading is very flavorful without being overpowering. i've heard about Golden Bird for a while, and now that I've tried it, I will be a regular customer. Forget Roscoe's and think about Dinah's, but I'll be making my way to Golden Bird from now on.

• Pros: Great chicken
