Fire It Up BBQ at the African American Firefighter Museum
Yesterday, Dr. Pookie and I went to the African American Firefighter Museum on S. Central to go to their first (annual?) BBQ contest/benefit. On a day when 90,000 people were going to the Coliseum to see the Rams play in LA, it was a chance to do a small-town kind of thing in a big town.
Of the food we tasted, I think Mark Curry's baby back ribs were the clear winner. The museum had memoribilia and clippings, but the best thing about it is its location in a firehouse from 1913.
Back in the day, it was part of the LAFD's segregated force.
The building is now on the register of historic places.
The museum sits kitty-corner from the 1939 Streamline Moderne Coca Cola Building, one of the locations from my road rally.
