Bottom sirloin tri-tip, grilled over red oak until rosy, sliced thin and piled on a toasted garlic-butter roll with barbecue sauce. San Luis Obispo's defining fast meal, done canonically at Firestone Grill.
Tri-tip is the Central Coast's cut: butchers in nearby Santa Maria popularised grilling the whole bottom sirloin over red oak in the 1950s, and the sandwich version became San Luis Obispo's own when Firestone Grill opened on Higuera Street in 1995 and made it the house order. The queue outside has been a downtown landmark ever since, and the Thursday night farmers' market pits sell the same cut by the plate.
