Unfortunately this doesn’t surprise me at all. The brisket is always fantastic but everything else I’ve had has been wildly inconsistent and the wings I had at Kowbird were greasy half were spiced and half weren’t, making it clear the staff isn’t trained properly. I think he expanded too rapidly to keep up quality control. I hope this is a wake up call though because we are lucky to have such quality brisket in the Bay Area and I really want him to succeed.

On 8th St, near Broadway in Oakland next to the old Trappist, there’s a new owner/alcohol notice for Matty’s Burger, aka Matt Horn. It’s been up for a while. Was looking forward to seeing it open…but perhaps not so soon. Hopefully he can keep the flagship BBQ joint going.
