The Park's Finest

Run by the Concordia family, who've been mastering the art of BBQ for generations, the Park's Finest spices up traditional American BBQ with Filipino flavor. It's one of L.A.'s most unique and creative BBQ restaurants, the kind of place where you can order a hot-link medley (complete with longanisa), some 16-hour-smoked pulled pork, and also a curry of smoked-and-cubed top round (one of our favorite dishes on the menu). Known for their "50% mom, 50% pop, 100% L.A." mantra, this one-of-a-kind spot has grown from its 2009-founded catering company roots to a BBQ institution.
