The Great BBQ Challenge: Bludso's vs. Gus's

Oh it was ON. After hearing good reviews about two BBQ joints, Bludso's in Compton and Gus's in Pasadena, we decided to do a side by side comparison of the ribs and brisket. (And tossed in some beer growlers from Golden Road for good measure.)

The verdict? Gus's was better seasoned, but Bludso's was more tender. Both of them would do in a pinch, but depending on your preference, you can pick one over the other. I'm loving the one piece of fatty brisket from Gus's, since it was the perfect balance of flavor and moistness!
