Black Bark BBQ Brings the Heat to the Lower Fillmore
On January 12, the Lower Fillmore District of San Francisco got a little smokier with the grand opening of Black Bark BBQ. Owners David Lawrence and Monetta White are longtime residents of the neighborhood (and own nearby 1300 Fillmore) and have dreamed of bringing barbecue back to the Fillmore District. The opening celebration featured samples of Chef David's killer chicken, sausage, and brisket, piled high with Black Bark's very own barbecue sauces, and an appearance by Mayor Ed Lee, who declared January 12 "Black Bark BBQ Day" in San Francisco.
