Creator of “The Man” Dies in Seattle
March 2nd, 2010 | By Joel Dehlin | 1 Comment »
A good friend, Gene Porter, died in Seattle this week. If you’ve been to Dixie’s Bar-b-que in Bellevue, WA (underneath 520), then you’ve met Gene. He met nearly every customer in his garage-turned-restaurant and encouraged us to “meet the man!” The man, of course, was his homemade bar-b-que sauce which was so hot that it rendered your taste-buds nearly incapacitated. I can deal with pretty hot food, and just a toothpick taste was painful.
Just a few months ago, I talked to him in his wheel chair, sitting in the back of the restaurant. Such contrast from the vibrant, loud, in-you-face restaurateur we all willingly paid to torture us.
Goodbye Gene. We’ll miss you.
“Yeah baby!”
