"Kyle Rensmeyer opened Holy Trinity in 2019 to bring true Texas-style barbecue to Portland. The food cart quickly became a hot spot, known for its smoky, spicy sausage; delicate, pink-hued ribs; and an incredible 14-hour smoked brisket. Holy Trinity landed on Eater Portland’s list of essential restaurants and was praised by Texas Monthly barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn. Despite the initial success, the cart faced challenges such as poor sales, COVID-19 impacts, meat shortages, and increased costs, leading to its closure." - Alex Frane
