Phil's BBQ, San Diego

I finally had a meal at Phil's BBQ, several years after my brother had recommended it.  I was taken back by the portion sizes.  There are just enormous!  I had a half order and could not finish it.  Mind you, I have a very healthy appetite.  Now if this was the South, I would understand.  However, this is San Diego!  Home to some of the most fit humans on the planet.  I thought the BBQ was good but I've had better in several different places.  This was not a surprise though.  San Diego is not known as the BBQ capital of anything.  While this is a cult classic in the area it didn't earn JO's stamp of approval.
