Subject: Support for A&M BBQ
I can think of two food establishments in West Country that my family will jump in the car and drive to, specifically for a taste that we crave - Wildflower in Freestone for the bread and A&M BBQ for the brisket. As a small/local business, I would think that A&M BBQ checks all the boxes for the West County 'keep it local' spirit. They are truly a destination location; going to A&M BBQ anchors our day spent in the area. From there, we can either start an afternoon of playing in Sonoma County, or have it be the finish line for a nice morning exploration on the Coastal area.
Please work with A&M BBQ to come up with a workable solution. Honestly, post-Covid has been a series of joyful experiences being taken down or simply eroding away. I would be so bummed if one of the postCovid joys was also erased as well.
Thank you for your time,
