So when the LA BBQ Fest came to down&#8230; I was excited to try it. My friend Kevin Chang hooked us up with VIP passes. But the VIP passes couldn&#8217;t make the food any better. There were only 8 vendors packed into the corner of the Santa Monica Pier parking lot&#8230; and one of them was Bristol Farms!
