David Storm, the barbecue pitmaster behind Buckshot Honey in Snoqualmie, has transformed his passion for feeding people into a successful restaurant venture that’s now expanding to Cashmere, Washington.

Hey, so. As in many US cities, Seattle’s restaurants are in trouble right now. We food writers have lately found ourselves accidentally moonlighting as unlicensed therapists lately, logging countless hours hearing the very legitimate woes plaguing the restaurant industry.

But Storm had another kind of public service in mind — an innovative, wonderfully indulgent menu of what he’s styled “Cascadian barbecue.” Pinnacles of Buckshot Honey’s lineup include devastatingly tender 12-hour smoked brisket, Filipino abodo pork shank, chimichurri pulled pork, and burnt-ends chili drizzled with provolone Whiz and poured over a chunk of secret cornbread.

Okay, this one isn't in Seattle, but it'd be delinquent to skip it here. About 40 minutes outside the city, in the darling mountain town of Snoqualmie, Dave Van Storm's honoring his West Virginian roots by serving house-smoked, fall-apart brisket, pork shank, and pulled pork out of an historic bank.

Just off Railroad Avenue in downtown Snoqualmie, sits a building with some history. When it was built in 1923 it was a bank, then a police station, then it served as city hall. Now, it's home to a Cascadian barbecue joint, Buckshot Honey.

Why are we waxing about sandos when it's not National Sandwich Day? Because everyday is sandwich appreciation day in my house.

Did you miss National Barbecue Day on May 16?! No worries — every day can be National Barbecue Day if you want it to be.
