Woody's - Classic LA BBQ

Los Angeles isn't a place commonly thought of by BBQ aficionados. The reality is though that it as a great 'under-ground' BBQ culture with many of the best meat coming from small, whole-in-the-wall restaurants.

I was introduced to Woody's by a coworker many moons ago. He would go around the office and collect orders. Then, jump into his car and head east of the 405 and then north deep into Inglewood. There, at a complex intersection, is a v-shaped parking lot that is home to a small, nondescript building.

Lunch specials cover the range from links, ribs, tips, and sliced beef. Each came with a slice of bread. Sides can be purchased separately and include beans, coleslaw, greens/corn bread, yams, and mac & cheese. Guys I worked with loved the links and ribs. I always went for the chicken. The sauce has a good flavor and the slice of bread means you can rationalize that you did have vegetables (wheat's a veggie, right?) with your lunch. :D

If you happen to be near Inglewood at lunch time, swing by and grab a bite at Woody's Bar-B-Que, 475 S Market Street at South La Brea Avenue.
