To find slow-smoked BBQ cooked with actual whole hardwood logs while in Los Angeles (ESPECIALLY West Hollywood) is to find a diamond in the rough. Lucky for us, we have Bludso's holding true to that authentic Texas formula an Angeleno craves when on a quest for Southern smoked cuisine right here in the neighborhood.
Born and raised in Compton, pitmaster Kevin Bludso broke ground on his first restautrant in 2008 right in the heart of his hometown. The West Hollywood location, and sophomore effort, came to fruition 5 years later and now even Melbourne, Australia can be added to the list of cities lucky enough to boast the blessings of Kevin's culinary magic.
Although hailing from Compton, Bludso family roots reach back to Corsicana, Texas where Kevin's genealogy's expertise in slow-smoking meats dates back five generations.
Adolescent summers for Kevin were spent back in Texas perfecting the fundamentals of BBQing with the key assist from his granny, Willie Mae Field, ultimately propelling him to become the pit master maestro he is today and meriting Bludso's one of the best BBQ joints in Los Angeles.
Such a sensational experience wouldn't be complete for us without our G Pen Elite handy to help us bask in the warm glow of that southern hospitality these yankees hear so much about.
Words cannot describe the jubilation experienced when indulging in Bludso's finest.
