Pink Rib

The Pink Rib is as good as it gets. I could go on and on but you’d think I was exaggerating. We ordered from The Pink Rib for a holiday party this year and it was charming, affordable and eye-​poppingly good – if you’re interested ask for «Pulled Pork Parfaits» (his signature pork butt with his signature sauce and signature slaw) stacked together in a clear plastic cup with a fork and cocktail napkin. You won’t go wrong – it is attractive, distinct, easy to clean up, the right portion size, and it melts in your mouth. To make it even better, Drew was prompt, responsive, reliable, congenial, and very professional. The Pink Rib was an absolute hit at our party.
Drew is getting his food truck business up and running, and at the time of this writing, sometimes the truck is closed as he works out the kinks, but it is definitely worth going back. My favorite by far is the pulled pork sandwich but I’m going to be ordering the sausage, egg and cheese breakfast (the sausage is sourced through the local Future Farmers of America – how cool is that?!) and his lamb burger (also sourced through FFA!) on my next visits.
I HIGHLY recommend you try his food. You’ll do yourself a favor, you’ll do all of Corvallis a favor: WE NEED THIS DELICIOUS, FRIENDLY FOOD OPTION IN TOWN. Plus you’ll be supporting a prince of a man who is trying to make the world a little tastier.

This brightly painted yet tucked away food cart cooks up some of the best BBQ I’ve had. The owner talked at length about buying local ingredients and his ‘secret’ homemade BBQ sauce, which I must attest, was pretty good.
While my burger was cooking, the owner launched into a story of loosing everything and this food cart being is last ditch effort to make ends meet. It’s reminiscent of the movie ‘Chef’, the Jon Favreau movie/​shameless Twitter sellout. However, I’m under the impression that the owner does not know Twitter even exists.
I’ve always thought that getting into the food business is much like boarding the famed Titanic. While the idea (or the ship) may seem like the perfect escape, the likelihood of you hitting a financial iceberg and sinking to the bottom of a cold ocean is almost the inevitable result. But… A few do make it and hopefully this one (because dang that BBQ is good) catches the life boat and survives on.
