I was TDY to Vandenberg AFB for five months and I had three of my best friends from ROTC there. I was married (wife was stationed in DC) but they would drag me up to SLO to those dance clubs and try to pick up the college girls. I would sit at the table and drink beer all night. We also liked to eat at McClintocks (sp?).
Your spelling is correct. McClintocks is good.
Central Coasters love their Santa Maria Style BBQ,
particularly tri-tip and/or ribs. The ‘secret’ isn’t
the tri-tip cut....it’s cooking over red oak which
is really Coastal Live Oak. No sauce...just garlic
salt & pepper.
Sounds like you might have spent beer time at
The Graduate.
