    Smoke City

    This week’s restaurant recommendation from the   LA Weekly's   Jonathan Gold  is  Smoke City Market , serving Texas barbecue in Sherman Oaks.  Their barbecue is served without sauce – they have it, they don’t recommend using it.  Jonathan likes the brisket mostly.  It’s seasoned with salt, pepper and smoke.

    This week’s restaurant recommendation from the

    LA Weekly's

    Jonathan Gold

    is

    Smoke City Market

    , serving Texas barbecue in Sherman Oaks. Their barbecue is served without sauce – they have it, they don’t recommend using it. Jonathan likes the brisket mostly. It’s seasoned with salt, pepper and smoke. They have chicken, baby back ribs, beef ribs, sausage and the requisite sides, but the brisket is the recommended item to order.

    Smoke City Market

    5242 Van Nuys Bl, CA 91401

    (818) 855-1280
