Rebirths

Lafayette's popular Bo's Barbecue is facing down a terminated lease in July, after 16 years of serving up brisket and ribs. But don't count owner William "Bo" McSwine out yet—he's targeting a new location in San Francisco, preferably in South Beach. He'll be taking his cast-iron baby smoker with him, and says he hopes to score an even larger unit to set outside his new space, wherever it ends up being located. "If I had my choice, it'd be by the water," says McSwine, who says he has 20-25 years of barbecuing left in him. [Contra Costa Times]
