π₯ Portland BBQ β Smoky. Tender. Unforgettable. π₯
The air hangs thick with the soul-warming scent of smoking oak and hickory wood π³π¨βa delicious promise of the feast to come. This is not just food; it is an art form π¨, a ritual, a heritage preserved in fire and time. The brisket is smoked for over 14 hours until it practically sighs apart at the lightest touch π. Each generous slice glistens under the light, beautifully marbled with fat that dissolves instantly on the tongue π π«. The flavor unfolds slowly and gracefully: first the robust smoke π«οΈ, then the sharp black pepper β¨, then that deep, beefy sweetness that lingers like a cherished memory π₯©. Itβs life-changingly good. Noβitβs better. Then come the ribsβcoated in a sticky, tangy glaze with just the right amount of chew π. The pulled pork? Piled gloriously high πββοΈ, impossibly moist π¦, and seasoned to perfection. Even the sides sing in harmony πΆ: creamy coleslaw π₯¬, smoky baked beans π«, crisp pickles π₯, and cornbread so fluffy it feels like a cloud βοΈ. Whoever called Portland a food desert ποΈ has clearly never stood in this line β³π§ββοΈπ§ββοΈ... One bite, and youβll understand completely. Iβm already planning my next trip πΊοΈβοΈβjust for this. Worth every mile ππ¨, every minute, every delicious memory in the making. π Mattβs BBQ 4233 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR #BBQ #PortlandEats #Smokehouse #FoodieAdventure #MeatLover #DreamyBites #RoadTripEats
