The barbecue at this L.A. shack is just like momma used to make it—literally. Rod Daniels started BBQ King using family recipes and before long, he found his one-pound burger featured on the Food Network. The house BBQ sauce adds a spicy-sweet kick to everything from the link sandwich to the ribs. The restaurant moved from its original location in 2008, but the menu hasn't changed.
