Tourist Documenting Portland BBQ Culture

A Japanese tourist in a blue baseball cap and black graphic t-shirt carefully frames a photograph of the weathered smoker at Matt's BBQ in Portland, Oregon.

The intimate scene captures the intersection of culinary tourism and local food culture, as the visitor documents the authentic smoking process that defines Portland's barbecue landscape.
