This Michelin-starred Texas barbecue restaurant is opening a Portland ‘extension’

Portland’s barbecue scene is in good shape.

Bark City is back

from its Southwestern sojourn and drawing lines at The Heist pod in Woodstock. Matt’s continues its steady growth, with more tacos coming to Sellwood-Moreland this summer. Podnah’s Pit

debuted a burger spin-off

in a space next door.

Botto’s in Brooklyn

remains the city’s under-the-radar BBQ gem. Hood River’s great Grasslands is a mere hour’s drive away. And pop-ups and food carts fill in the gaps — I’ve been spending my weekends at Har-BQ,

the cart parked at Von Ebert’s new Boise neighborhood brewery

.

But there’s always room for more brisket.
