Gus's regulars will recognize this sign from the back room wall...
LA Eater recently featured a fantastic article about South Pasadena's very own Gus's BBQ, and they even included the above photo of mine.
Jon and I have a joke that if it hadn't have been for Gus's, our family might have starved when Raine was a barely-sleeping toddler. We still have a collection of their plastic kiddie drink cups with lids, just perfect for car rides. (Thanks, Gus's!)
One thing the LA Eater article doesn't mention is Gus's utterly amazing wait staff. Not only are these people super friendly and awesome at remembering weird menu requests or modifications, but they always have recommendations for people with food restrictions and they never, never, never freak out when your kid throws her plastic kiddie cup to the floor. At least not in front of the customers.
I've included quite a few pictures of Gus's over the years. Check them out here. And check out Gus's menu and take-out/catering options here. (The restaurant may be over 70 years old, but it's technologically hip. You can order online!)
