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.
That sounds real familiar. This was back in 1985 so I may be wrong. One place, IIRC, was sort of in an industrial area and the tables were just picnic tables lined up with a big screen that showed bits of movies and videos. The other was on the side of a mountain and two walls looked out over the landscape and ocean. I heard it burned down in one of the wildfires.
