"Rodney Muirhead, the man behind Podnah’s, expanded the awareness of Portland’s barbecue scene when he opened his shop in 2006. Since then, Podnah's has appeared on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and was named the best barbecue in the state by the Food Network. The Pitboss is still the crown jewel here, a monster plate of Texas-style brisket, Carolina-style pulled pork, ribs, a sausage link, a pair of sides, and cornbread. Weekend brunches of brisket hash and migas tacos are another draw." - Ron Scott
