I'm torn on Mr. Cecil's. It gets great reviews, but I've never been impressed. The exterior is usually more charred than I like; however, the inside tends to remain tender, moist and flavorful. Read somewhere that they par-boil their ribs prior to smoking them on the grill, which might account for the contrast. I also think their two sauces are second rate. Neither has the balance of flavor I want in my BBQ sauce. (One of the sauces at The Pig comes close, but I'd still want to modify it.)
 
I've been at a bit of a loss since Big Daddy's Q House closed (La Brea & Rodeo). And that seems like forever ago. I guess I've been too focused on establishing standards in other food genres to really put any time into BBQ. There are a few in my neighborhood -- 4J's, Benny's and the little one on Abbott Kinney. But nothing that put me over the top.
