First stop was the BBQ joint, Extra Billy's BBQ, named for a fellow, Billy, who always tried a bit harder to do whatever he was doing and thus got tagged, Extra Billy.

Next stop was at Legend Brewing in a warehouse district just south of downtown. They were not prepared to serve 23 lunches in a timely manner. It look 2 hours.


Our final stop is Richrau Brewing in the trendy downtown Shokoe Slip area. I understand this place closed about 10 days later.
