The Best Barbecue in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Okay, this one isn’t in Seattle, but it’d be delinquent to skip it here. About 40 minutes outside the city, in the darling mountain town of Snoqualmie, Dave Van Storm’s honoring his West Virginian roots by serving house-smoked, fall-apart brisket, pork shank, and pulled pork out of an historic bank. (The name refers to his grandmother adding an empty bowl to the table whenever she cooked squirrel — “for the buckshot, honey.”) Some standouts are the burnt ends chili with provolone whiz, the pulled pork drizzled in chimichurri with black pepper mayo on challah, and the Oscar Wilde — gochujang-sauced burnt ends, local mushrooms, roasted apples, pickled shallots, sour lacto-fermented corn, and fresh herbs. Or you can have it Dave’s Way: a luscious brisket sandwich with half a pound of meat, roasted onions, pickled peppers, black pepper mayo, and whiz on light rye. It’s a total smokeshow." - Meg van Huygen
