This reminds me of LOVE's BBQ. The food was good there but the servings were microscopic. One had to order 2 meals to manage to get enough actual food on a single plate. That may be part of the reason they disappeared.

Hi Doug. I think the BBQ at Coldwater and Riverside you are thinking of was SMOKEY JOE'S. not Chris n' Pitts. I remember two Smokey Joe's from the 1970's. One was on Riverside Drive the other was outside of "Kiddyland" near La Cienega. There was a pump jack pumping oil outside the La Cienega location. I remember Case Swayne foods marketed "Smokey Joe's" beans in the area supermarkets. Same cowboy character as the restaurants. Chris n' Pitts had a valley location at Fulton and Victory. That closed some years ago. Your feelings about C + P, Smokey Joe's, Loves and maybe Bob's Big Boy were shared by my mom who hated all 4. My sister and I had to BEG to go to any of them.
