Dear City Council,
We are a fan/customer of A&M BBQ and drive from Sonoma to enjoy their food - it’s the best BBQ we've ever had. We would like to encourage you, especially in this current climate and economic uncertainty (especially for restaurants) to please allow A&M to continue supporting their staƯ and livelihood without abrupt interruptions/stoppage until they are able to relocate. Their business is an asset to Sebastopol’s economy and culture, and it would be a shame to hurt their business practices while they look for a place to relocate.
To be blunt, if the City won’t accommodate them, I’m sure another city will swoop them up at Sebastopol’s loss. I would love to have a BBQ restaurant in Sonoma with such quality and taste/flavors. If you haven’t eaten there, I suggest you go taste for yourself. It’s a very rare position to be in to have the best BBQ restaurant in the Bay Area.
Sincerely,
Mitzi Kuwatani and Gordon Kirkland
