Moo's Craft Barbecue

High school sweethearts Andrew and Michelle Muñoz are living the dream. What started out as a backyard hobby smoking meats on weekends has transformed into a full-fledged restaurant in Lincoln Heights. The handsome space, equipped with a bar packed with craft beer, delivers smoky, salt-and-pepper-crusted brisket and snappy, spicy sausages packed with cheddar and jalapeños -- all an homage to the barbecue traditions of Austin, Texas. Sides like mac and cheese or desserts like banana pudding also satisfy. Consider arriving on the earlier side of the day, as items often sell out.
