Readers' Choice: Barbeque 152 Serves Up the Best

Out of nine BBQ joints, Barbeque 152 was voted the best eatery to grab Memorial Day barbecue around town.

The votes have been tallied and Barbeque 152 was named the best place to grab Memorial Day barbecue around town in this week's Gilroy Patch Readers' Choice poll.

Barbeque 152 , nudging out Famous Dave's Barbeque, which received 34 percent of the votes. 

The poll included nine eateries with exceptional BBQ.

Out of the 23 votes, Barbeque 152 received 10, while Famous Dave's BBQ walked away with eight. L & L Hawaiian Barbeque, San Martin Meats, Dickey's Barbeque Pit, Maverick BBQ Restaurant & Lounge and Trail Dust BBQ received one vote each. 

Here's what one reader had to say about Barbecue 152:

"I have eaten BBQ all across the U.S. I would have to say that BBQ 152 is the best in a 50 mile radius! You can see the meat being smoked right there. Everything is so fresh.

I was very disappointed in Dickey's. Maybe I've watched too much of Gordon Ramsey, but, they pulled the ribs out of a box wrapped in cellophane. The hot link was served cold.

Dave's is a good and reliable restaurant with a lot more choices. But, for all around flavor and hospitality...my vote is for BBQ 152!" — Gloria Tanksley

What makes this closure even more bizarre is the fact that the Luigi parent club is paying now &Read More has paid the librarian's salary for that last 12 years, not GUSD. While other library facilities will be kept open (it's not an across the board closure), this particular one makes no sense. My library friend says the books at Luigi will not be packed up & stored, but kept there in library. My bet is that the 17,000+ books in their inventory will be picked through & gone within a year or so. Very sad!

Also, it would take some work but couldn't the books be divided up and put into the classrooms? OrRead More is it because they were bought as library books with the library grant they have to stay in the library. It will be very embarrassing to tell book vendors that Luigi Aprea does not have a library anymore.

I don't know why the parents club can't run the library. They would have to be trained with theRead More computer library program but I'm sure there would be parents that would be willing to do that. It is very sad that just because we can't hire a librarian that the students have to loose out. That does not seem fair to me. I thought the students were supposed to come first and not be denied services due to a budget shortfall. We were promised that the budget would not effect the classroom. I guess in this case the union is more powerful than necessary. So all those books are going to collect dust. How sad and unacceptable.

It just don't matter how she dresses,whoo her parents are or aren't. Nobody and I mean Nobody hasRead More the right to rape or force a femsle to have sex with her,and then to make matters worse,they posted pictures of her on facebook ! Better we as a community should be asking,what would possess the young guys to do something like this ! That is why We have Our teenagers and kids passwords or no internet period ! As a parent my heart goes out to het and her parents !

The offensive comment we're discussing shows a complete lack of respect for women that permeates ourRead More culture. That this person actually thought this poor young girl had culpability for her attack is a symptom of our societies disregard for women. I'm actually glad he made the comment so we can look at and discuss the problem.

From one of the interviews I watched online, it seems that many Saratoga High students knew whatRead More happened at the party and had seen the pictures. How is it that arrests did not follow the assault and the suicide for over 6 months? Could it be that the students who knew information about the felony chose to remain silent? I hope that is not the case; we will surely find out as the details of the case are revealed in the media over the next weeks and months. In the meantime lets make sure we are teaching our kids about the responsibility of living in community and caring about others. God forbid that any of the students have to live with the knowledge that they could have prevented the suicide, or with the knowledge that they helped cover up such a heinous crime.
