No goopy sauces at all, but fresh salsa on the side. Plus you gotta have piquinto beans and hot sour dough bread or rolls with it.

CA does not compare to Texas BBQ nor is anything you get from CA close to what is BBQ. How do I know? I have tried and it is awful stuff.

1) What are piquinto beans?

Proper sides to a BBQ are any of the following:

1) Potatoes
2) Ranch style beans
3) Coleslaw
4) Potato Salad
5) A raw or pickled Jalapeno
6) Raw onion and some pickles

NOT SALSA and never sourdough bread !!
