Botto's BBQ Like List
The Portland Mercury's Andrea Damewood writes, "Botto’s opened in 2016 to much acclaim, especially for its brisket and ribs, done up in the Austin, Texas-style that owner Darren Bottinelli loves. It closed when Bottinelli went to the minimum-security Sheridan Federal Correctional Institute, convicted of stealing $3 million from his former healthcare funds management company. Botto’s reopened this year, and the barbecue remains as good as I remember, especially the lean brisket cuts with a kick of housemade sauce. The smoked turkey and a side of broccoli and cauliflower casserole were both a bit sogged down with grease, but it’s nothing a side of pickled veggies couldn’t cure."

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ Like List
This barbecue joint with a location housed inside a Shell gas station in Vancouver and another outpost in Woodland has gained a loyal following for its heartily portioned pulled pork, beef brisket, barbecue chicken, and ribs. Louisiana-born owner and third-generation grillmaster Donnie Vercher learned the craft of barbecue from his father and is now passing the tradition on to his son. Be sure to save room for dessert—Vercher's family recipe sweet potato pie and 7-Up pound cake are equally mouthwatering.

Eem Like List
This wildly popular Thai barbecue spot, run by Shipwreck Like List owner Eric Nelson, Langbaan Like List and Hat Yai Like List owner Earl Ninsom, and Matt's BBQ owner Matt Vicedomini, has enjoyed plenty of praise from local media. As Andrea Damewood writes, "Eem is the restaurant equivalent of Lizzo: infectious, critically and commercially acclaimed, and addictive AF. You cannot go wrong in ordering, from the hot fried cauliflower to the divine brisket in white curry to the fried rice with burnt ends. And both the cocktails and mocktails are some of the best in town—my favorite [is the] piña colada, made with coffee and salt to keep it from being too cloying."

Matt's BBQ Like List and Matt's BBQ Tacos
Andrea Damewood writes, "When native Long Islander Matt Vicedomini opened his Texas-style barbecue cart in a weird empty lot off Northeast MLK in 2015, the game changed. The brisket is a *chef’s kiss* of sweet tenderness and a bark that would make an oak jealous. Now located next to Prost on North Mississippi, make sure you get there early, as Matt’s usually sells out." She's also a huge fan of the business's sibling cart Matt's BBQ Tacos: "Is it wrong that my favorite thing about this all-day smoked meat taco joint with lines down the block are the flour tortillas? Made with lard, they’re soft, supple, and absolutely perfect. But it certainly doesn’t hurt that the smoked meats within claim Matt’s pedigree, made all the better with the addition of eggs, potato, and cheese at breakfast. The migas, with eggs, pico de gallo, cheese, guac, and tortilla chips are available all day, and for a good reason. Go early and often: These babies tend to sell out pretty quick, especially with that national media spotlight."
