"Maple Block is an unpretentious barbecue joint in Culver City that will appeal to just about everyone. The brisket is the star of the show, but they also serve plump smoked wings that'll make you realize most versions barely have any meat on them at all. On weekends, they also make fantastic brunch-ified barbecue dishes, like a brisket breakfast burrito and a smoked pork belly eggs benedict. Come here for an after-work drink and loaded fries at the bar, throw a big group dinner on the patio, or plan a date night where getting sauce on your face is a deal-maker, not a breaker." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
