The owner of this barbecue spot has been smoking meat since he was seven years old.
“Where you from? Do you like barbecue?” I approached a tight parking lot with five cars positioned next to a deck leading up to an Indian restaurant that doubles as an Irish pub.
A barbecue rib being cut for a customer at Adams Smoked Meats & BBQ in North Beach, San Francisco, on Friday, July 29, 2022.The customer, a tourist who just got off the iconic cable car at the corner of Taylor and Francisco streets, grinned as she tasted a piece of rib that Adams offered, and immediately got in line for a full plate.
Adams, now 77, was born at San Francisco General Hospital but grew up in Stockton. He remembers growing up in the kitchen of his aunt and uncle’s soul food restaurant, which also doubled as a nightclub called Night Out Cafe. Those encouraging words motivated him to wake up even earlier than his aunt so he could practice and create his own recipes after finishing the prep work he did for her. And if you know barbecue, you know it takes a long time to properly smoke the meat to get it just right — tender, yet not grainy.
