We do not usually give the key to the city to residents of Oakland. We made an exception for our hometown food legends: The Everett and Jones BBQ dynasty. Dorothy King in the pink and her sisters operate 4 stores in their parents tradition. I always have a jar of medium sauce in my pantry. Tanya Holland of Brown Sugar Cafe and the B-Side Cafe gave this cooking demonstration of her Barbecued Chicken. Despite being exhausted I read late into the night all the way through her new cookbook with recipes from the Brown Sugar Cafe ; it is a love letter to West Oakland with history and vignettes of her customers and co-conspirators.
