"Exercise-induced endorphins and hickory-smoked meat are as iconic of a duo as a mid-hike tallboy of Rainier and your parched mouth. Wood Shop is a fantastic place for brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño mac and cheese—all served up in their picnic table-lined backyard that’s perfect for stretching out after weaving through Rattlesnake Ridge tourists. And for an option involving slightly more produce than green peppers folded in cheesy elbow noodles, they also serve a satisfying kale caesar." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley
