RESTAURANT ROUNDUP:

Costa Mesa-based Beach Pit BBQ recently re-upped its contract for another five years with the Los Angeles Angels to remain at the stadium. And now it’ll be easier to get some barbecue at the game as the company expands its stands from two to five.

The three new spots are behind home plate on the “View Level,� near left field behind the rock pile and just inside the third-base gate. There you can order up some spare ribs, quartered-chicken, baked beans and blueberry corn bread while rooting the Halos on to another successful season.
