Holy Trinity Barbecue (sometimes Holy Trinity BBQ) was a barbecue restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1][2]

Description

Holy Trinity operated from a food cart in a parking lot along Powell Boulevard in southeast Portland's Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood.[3][4] The menu included Texas-style brisket, Czech sausages, and ribs.[5] Sides included cheesy grits and pickles.[6]

History

Pitmaster Kyle Rensmeyer opened Holy Trinity in 2019.[5][7] The business initially operated on weekends, and expanded to Thursday and Friday service in August 2019.[8] Rensmeyer closed the food cart for two days during a heat wave in July 2021, resulting in a loss of $7,000.[9] In October 2021, he confirmed plans to close in October 23.[3][10]

Reception

Sausage

In 2019, Holy Trinity was a finalist in the Food Cart of the Year category of Eater Portland's Eater Awards. The website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden said, "Portland is already spoiled on the barbecue front; it didn’t need another hardcore talent with a smoker. But the Texas barbecue at Jojo's neighbor, Holy Trinity, is far better than it needs to be, with gorgeous brisket, well-seasoned sausages, and knockout green-chile-cheese grits."[11] Additionally, Jackson-Glidden named Rensmeyer a "rising star" in the city's food and drink scene.[5]

In 2021, Jackson-Glidden and Nick Woo included Holy Trinity in Eater Portland's list of "15 Outstanding Portland Food Carts".[6] Jackson-Glidden also included Holy Trinity in the site's 2021 list of "The 38 Essential Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland".[12]
