"What good is a barbecue joint that doesn’t offer a side of cornbread, really? Podnah’s Pit has been blessing Portlanders with Texas and Carolina-style meats for 14 years, offering an unpretentious, minimalist space for diners to dig into 12-hour-smoked pulled pork and 10-hour-smoked brisket with a skinny slice of cornbread. Podnah’s cornbread is skillet-cooked, savory with plenty of grease from the fry, and browned near the edges—primed and eager to please the “cornbread, not cake” purists." - Scout Brobst
