I love my neighborhood, but I dearly miss living in the sandwich mecca that is the Lower Haight. Until recently, the 'wich options in the Western Addition have been pretty woeful, which is why I was so excited to welcome B's BBQ and Grill. After a somewhat underwhelming meal when it first opened, we returned to our new neighborhood barbecue joint the other night and got sandwiches to go.
I opted for the smoked chicken sandwich on wheat bread, which came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and spicy barbecue sauce. It's like a messy BBQ sandwich conceived at a deli counter, but it actually works, and I always like getting some veggies, no matter how minimal. The moist, thin-sliced chicken tastes straight out a smokehouse. On the side, I got sweet baked beans, which remind me of picnics in Pensacola. They were simple but classic.
Andrew got the pulled pork, which was served on "ciabatta" that was really just a French roll. He voted against the lettuce and tomato, which I think was the right choice, and piled on a side of spicy slaw instead. The pork was a little ketchupier than I like it — I like the one I made better — but it was moist and juicy against the crusty bread.
