Talking about bbq, I liked Memphis Minnie's, lower Haight (beginning of Haight as you leave the downtown area), a funky, little hole-in-the-wall, where of course the southern style bbq is slow cooked for hours. You know it's decadent because they even fry their pies! Only drawback-it's a super small place - like if Alfred goes, even by himself, woah, place is full.
