Podnah's Pit - A PDX Treat

    For someone who doesn't like to eat pork, the pulled pork sandwich I devoured was absolutely body melting. Yes, I could have just melted onto the bench. It was so tender and juicy; the flavors were just right. I did toss on some bbq sauce, and I did try the honey mustard sauce they had. I want it in my home, now. They roast everything fresh, daily in their fire pit which is really nice and actually makes a huge difference.

    As a bbq lover, I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of cornbread. I'm extremely picky about cornbread. I'll give everything I had from Podnah's a 5/5 except for the cornbread. For that, I must give a 3.5/5. The flavor was mediocre and there was something about the batter... Something off about it.

    My simple side was pinto beans which were really good... For pinto beans. I didn't know I could ever like them as much as I did that day. The sauce they were in was so easily remarkable; nothing fancy, just a really easy, yet really flavorful sauce. There was nothing too complex about any part of this meal which I absolutely love. My friend got the pork and beans which had massive chunks of pork and it just looked SO mouth watering! I wasn't in a booze mood so I just had a Boylan's root beer. My friend had a coke. Both of which were of the 'made with pure cane sugar' variety, and I love that.

    Last but not least, the service. I mean, it was pretty slow business. Lunch was almost over. The service was as excellent as it could have been. We didn't have any extraordinary demands. Our food arrived quickly; he tended to our needs like any great housewife should.

    I can't get over how simple the menu is. Why do we not see this anymore? I had about 5 things to choose from at Podnah's. Can we get back to the simple joys of simply eating simply? I'll definitely be back, as I was completely torn between the pulled pork, the half chicken and the smoked trout. I also have to try my friend's pork and beans. Mmmm mm!

    I love food, and I'll always be the first to talk smack if something isn't great (especially if it's praised so highly such as half the places in PDX I've ventured to) and be the first to commend it if it's soodelish! I would seriously recommend Podnah's any day of the week. Rodney and his fine team deserve every ounce of acclaim they may receive.

    To top everything off, the group next to us had a very adorable dancing Boston Terrier who I believe was named Rudy. Baby fever? Talk about a mad case of puppy fever! He was so damn precious!

Insert drool here: Pulled pork sammy, pinto beans, coonebredd, and a muy bueno root burr!

I wish I would've taken off the b/w setting. He had beautiful brindle markings in his black spots.
