New barbecue restaurant now open in downtown Gig Harbor

My 4 Sons BBQ has opened in downtown Gig Harbor with a menu of brisket, pork and chicken by the pound or plate, paired with sides like smoked mac and cheese, BBQ beans and a surprisingly refreshing broccoli salad. It’s still in a soft-open phase, with select-day meat specials — including smoked turkey on Thursdays and beef-back ribs on Fridays and Saturdays — not yet available. But the core menu of meat by the pound and sides in various sizes is ready alongside a full bar with a few local beers on tap and cocktails ranging from mules and margaritas to a bacon old fashioned. Owners Matthew and Brenda Henning purchased the former tenant at 7707 Pioneer Way , Brimstone PNW, late this summer.

This Family Barbecue Joint in an Old Washington Auto Garage Only Serves Lunch, and the Brisket Sandwiches Need Extra Napkins

A hot sauce so fierce it has its own nickname, and you have to ask to meet it. They call it The Man, and it gets spooned out of a small, well-used pot like a family treasure. The sauce lives inside a converted auto garage in Washington, close to a busy freeway. The kitchen only serves lunch, so timing matters.

This Washington Hawaiian Spot Piles Kalua Pork And Mac Salad On Plate Lunches Big Enough To Share

Kalua pork that pulls apart with a fork. Loco moco with gravy and egg yolk running through the rice. A family-run bakery right next door selling guava cake. That combo alone sounds like a vacation, but it sits in a small retail strip in an industrial corner of Washington. The plates come with rice and mac salad, the way they do back on the islands.

Stock Your Freezer with Seattle’s Best Dumplings

We tasted a dozen dumpling brands, and the best ones aren’t sold at the supermarket. Frozen dumplings sit on the God tier of quick dinners. Depending on the flavor, they form a complete meal—protein, carb, and veg—on their own, and most go from freezer to plate in less time than it would take to so much as choose a restaurant from which to order in. But there’s something better than the shiny packages from supermarket shelves.
