Tonight from 7 to 11 p.m., Seattle's new all-star mobile-barbecue-vendor will be at 15th Avenue and Pine. What style of barbecue does Gert's serve?

"Seattle-style!" [Rodney] Jones proclaims. "Everybody says, 'I got Memphis-style, I got Texas-style.' We're from here, we're proud of being from here, and our barbecue is from here. Some like the dry rubs; we like the wet marinade. We never boil the meat—that's blasphemy. We assume people have a few good teeth or good dentures to chew the food."

Read all about it over here. Gert's don't-misses: the extremely excellent pulled pork sliders, the smoky-sweet ribs, the kind of terrifyingly addictive green bean casserole.

For your future reference, here's Gert's on Twitter.
