With this guy, and I took a sip of sauce like this, and he said, please never do that in front of me again. I'm Ilona Marr, and these are my sisters, Olivia and Adrianna. Today, we're in San Francisco, splitting some dinner before a show at the Chase Center. We are the Marr better, and this is the Split Up. We are here at Fix Q in San Francisco, which is a mix of Indonesian and Texas barbecue. I am intrigued. What what blended that? Why did Fix Q say we need to put these two together? FixQ. The sure to be classic joint was started by husband and wife, Thick and Rekha. Thick learned Texas style barbecue as a hobby in his backyard. With some of his leftovers, Rekha began incorporating FixU was born. What do we have, Cheers? I brought you guys some Indonesian chicken satay. Yum. And our smoked lumpia. We smoke it in house. Yes. It's delicious.
