What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A&M BBQ in Sebastopol is moving its smoking operation outside city limits after a zoning crackdown required the restaurant to stop using its outdoor commercial smokers. The owners are currently trucking the finished barbecue back to the restaurant, which is described as a costly workaround. The restaurant had previously received praise from Guy Fieri for its food.
