"Food-cart-turned-storefront The People’s Pig is all about the greatest hits of Southern cuisine—after all, if ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The restaurant smoked its way into the barbecued heart of Portland, offering a menu of beef brisket and barbecue pork alongside all types of meat rubbed every which way in a rustic North Williams location. The side of cast-iron baked cornbread is the much-needed starch for the meat-centric dishes, blackened to a crisp on the outside with moist, crumby goodness on the inside." - Scout Brobst
