Grilling Like a Portlander With Wood, Salt, and Stubborn Pride
It’s the beginning of peak barbecue season in Portland, when we all dream of lazy afternoons spent grilling meats and veggies in the backyard with friends. But the process can be a bit intimidating for the newbie: What kind of gear do you actually need? How do you plan the perfect menu? Charcoal or propane? Today, we’re revisiting a conversation with Zeph Shepard, owner of Proletariat Butchery in Southeast Portland. He’s here to walk us through the do’s and don’ts of the perfect Portland backyard barbecue.
