"Maybe it’s December and you’re craving the warmth of smoked beef, or maybe it’s the middle of summer and there is just no way you’re lighting up a grill. Wood Shop BBQ in the CD always comes in handy. Their meat options—like ten-hour smoked short ribs, brisket with the perfect ratio of fatty to meaty pieces, and pork ribs that we have trouble sharing—are consistently exceptional. Not to mention their extra-creamy jalapeño mac and cheese topped with pulled pork is a creation so significant it deserves a spot in the Time 100 issue." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"We love this BBQ spot all year, but come summertime, it’s one of the city’s great happy places. Their gravel patio is lined with picnic tables and games of cornhole, and there’s the occasional live music performance to keep the good vibes coming. As you and your friends gnaw on ribs and barter rogue hunks of brisket for fried jalapeño mac and cheese balls, you'll probably think to yourself, "life is good." Pork meeting smoke is indeed a great chemical reaction, but so is dopamine meeting your brain—and you can thankfully experience both at Wood Shop." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"Melty pork ribs, hot links, and smoked jalapeño mac and cheese all smashed on a metal tray sounds like a solid way to kick off the week, and you can eat those things at Wood Shop. This Central District restaurant is one of the best BBQ spots in town, and the fact that they operate on Mondays just sweetens the pot. Grab a beer and some crispy mac and cheese balls at the bar, or hang out on the patio with a full spread if it's nice out. (The backyard is covered in the winter, too.)" - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"An acclaimed Oregon restaurant known for its barbecue. Owner Drew Marquis organizes pop-up events in Seattle, bringing a full menu of meats and sides." - Harry Cheadle
