Thanks for doing this, Vlad. So many Blacks on the West Coast don't understand where they came from and think corner store burritos are cultural foods.

Pretty sure Kevin is sipping on his favorite drink - Hennessey And come on down to LA, Bludso's BBQ is worth the travel 😋 you won't be disappointed ...

You are so right. My mother and father came to the west coast in the 60s, opened 🎉 cream store, and turned into a barbeque restaurant. Then there was Leanard's barbeque and Kansas City barbeque, and a few others . My family's was Dixie Barbeque. They all migrated from the south. And every one of them had long line's to get that barbeque. So when you brought up west coast that just brought back good memories. Good luck to you and your future. One day, I'm going to try your barbeque. It looks really good. Peace

Much respect to Mr. Bledsoe, but I don't see one black employee that he have, if you're really trying to help your community and you are a black man as well.
