Eater LAさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Eater LAInstagram)「It’s early July and opening day at Bludso’s BBQ (@bludsosbbq) in Santa Monica. A lunch crowd fills up the 100-seat interior while a smaller group gathers outside to surround owner and Texas-style pitmaster Kevin Bludso (@kevinbludsobbq). Bludso’s business partner James Starr, a group of family, friends, and Santa Monica officials close their eyes and bow their heads while reverend Kevin Anderson under Pastor Victor Green’s New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in South LA utters the following words, “Heavenly Father, we ask that you bless this building and the hands that prepared the food.” Reverend Kev is also a Los Angeles city attorney who grew up with Bludso in Compton, coming here to pray for and support his longtime friend. Though eyes remain shut as the reverend continues the prayer, smiles abound at one of Southern California’s biggest restaurant openings of the year. Inside Bludso’s Santa Monica, excitement radiates from every corner. The atmosphere is by design, according to Bludso.
