So who else “literally” dreams about food? I woke up this morning from a dream about #BBQ. I could still smell the wood fire and cooking meat in the air. I blame it on last Saturday’s @hornbarbecue pop-up! 🐖🔥 I stood in line for an hour and 45 minutes and yes it's that good. This time we were not the first in line. We were beat by a couple of guys who took a day trip up here from San Diego specifically for this pop-up. Everyone queued up creating an ever expanding line along the side of the building and beyond. Some of us brought chairs, sodas and beers. A little light tailgating as we all chatted amiably with each other and waited to get in. 🐖🔥 Light whiffs of smoke floated from Lucille -- the 500-gallon smoker -- that had been reducing California White Oak to glowing charcoal and ash since 5am (or before). This is where the magic of Matt Horn’s tender Beef Brisket happens. With an outside crust like a tourmaline geode and the inside meat perfectly moist and pink, it was difficult to stop at just ½ a pound of each. And the sight of hand made chili-red Hot Links glistening in the sun as they are being removed from the grill made me want more than the planned two I was going to buy for myself #everthinginmoderation. 🐖🔥 Thank you @matthornx and @ninalhorn for another memorable experience! #SWSEats #EatLocally #Oaklandloveit #IEatOakland #HornBarbecue (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWDHPzBS21/?igshid=34l5vi9xy88t
