I met the man by accident at the taste of Seattle about 20-25 years ago. Had one of their brisket dogs. Amazing beef brisket over a beautifully smoked polish sausage. I had never heard of the man and decided I wanted some extra sauce on my dog. So I grabbed a squeeze bottle that was there and just slathered it on. I remembered afterwards the people in the little kitchen area staring at me but I had no idea why. I found out about 10 seconds later as I tried to put my eyes BACK in my head and find where my tongue had crawled away to to peacefully expire. I swear, I thought my face was going to melt right off my head. My nose was running, my ears were tingling, and I immediately needed a towel for my hair. But I'll be damned if I didn't finish that whole damn dog. The BBQ was THAT good.
Whenever we were working on the East Side and got done early we would come see gene he got to know us pretty well..he Loved to mess with my CO worker trenton He would be sweating like a stuck pig every time..miss you gene..Kevin from c.n.drilling
truly sad this amazing place is gone. first time I heard about them was at a Mariner's game, back when the kingdome was still around. they were the bbq place there at the time. was like... 10, and I asked my dad if I could have some of The Man on my sandwich and was met with an emphatic NO! finally made my way to Dixie's proper maybe 7-8 years ago to try for myself. great food, great story, great everything. RIP Porter Family.
Epic spot! I met THE MAN in 2003 as a young engineer from TX. Love the hospitality they showed and even more the gauntlet of tracing down quarters to buy a drink!!!
I met the man. Sad to hear that he passed and restaurant is closed. I also had that 'man sauce' and just a drop from a toothpick had me sweating for the whole day. Atomic is an understatement to describe the heat
Gene used to work the crowd that lined up out the door. He said to one guy, Where you from, son? The guy replied, Cleveland. And Gene said, Sorry to hear that.
Reeve!!! What a great videos! And Deb, you need a new career as a video model! Thanks for the support of APDA and those living with PD. You made my day!
I remember a guy at a food truck selling this when I was in college up there. I asked if he was The Man. He said, "No, I'm just the boy that works for the Man." Long story short, The Man kicked my ass.
I used to hang with Gene late nights... I brought the beer and he'd pull meat off his smoker (cooking for the next day). Awesome food. And The Man is killer hot!
I worked for Microsoft in Redmond for 8 years and I was lucky enough to have "met the man" on numerous occasions. Food was great, the sauce was HOT and Gene was a one-of-a-kind guy. RIP, Mr. Porter - thanks for the memories!
Guys, do you really think Kurt would marry this? Have you seen this video? How can anybody could compare this to Courtney? This woman is the closest thing to a new Pamela Des Barres rather than a real musician And to all the idiots in the comments of this video saying the stupid line oh kurt should married her .. My question is: Have you read the fax? Have you read the fax? Morons,.Kurt.wrote a fax to this ,insane creepy woman, telling her to shut up,to stop telling nonsense ,that even today she is still saying, she is not supposed to say anything because nobody liked her.indeed
+Ruth Stevens Courtney wrote that fax, not Kurt. Courtney is a fraud, she can't even sing or play the guitar, it's been proven without a doubt. She has a history of faking notes (cough) and forgery. Yeah Courtney is a trust fund kid who never bothered to learn the fucking guitar and leeched on famous guys and idiots like you eat it up.
+Ruth Stevens This was done before Mary Lou was known. She had no makeup on or plastic surgery. Have you seen Courtney without makeup? Have you seen her before plastic surgery?. Courtney can't even sing or play solo. She has to be in a band so she can fake playing the guitar. Her voice is terrible. Courtney is also an evil person with no soul and has ruined hundreds of lives. Mary Lou is a talented good hearted woman.When it comes to natural talent Mary Lou is far more superior. She can clearly see she can sing and play the guitar. I have never heard or seen Courtney play anything solo that sounds anywhere near this. I've only heard boring shit and just down strokes.Courtney can't even sing in key. Why would Courtney have been so threatened and jealous of her to the point that she chased her down a street and threatened to kill her like Courtney has down to so many other people before and left death threats on her answering machine and put her life through a living hell for what? If Kurt would have married her, he would still be alive. You Courtney fans are just like her! Just a bunch of viscous bullies!
Mary Lou has more talent in her little finger than courtney will ever have in 1000 lifetimes.. I am a little bit biased as Mary Lou is a friend.. but even if she wasnt I would still say that. I am a hole fan because of eric.. eric is an awesome guitar player.. courtney barely knows 3 chords.. and now cant even play those.. at least in the 90's she could almost play rhythem guitar.. now.. shes... phhhht... man mary lou can play courtney under the table anyday.. and thats the main reason why courtney is jealous.. cause she knows it.
mavidateeta Courtney has always been to lazy to learn. The lead singer of ''Babes in Toyland'' was willing to work with her in the beginning because she couldn't sing or play an instrument but she said that Courtney was more interested in getting high and being famous then being in a band and being a real musician.
