The Los Angeles Barbeque Festival was held this past weekend at the Santa Monica Pier. This yearly event brings in pitmasters from around the country to show off their meat rubs, grilling and smoking prowess to the local LA carnivores. Manolith used the opportunity to go out to the beach and sample some pulled pork and brisket. Our photos from the event are below.
