When I used to work at Sandia Labs, the Powdrell's location on Central was a common lunch spot for me. With pickles!
More often than not, Mr. Powdrell was sitting out front, watching the world go by, cooling off from that hot kitchen. I always gave him a hello and a thank you.
Anyone who provides eats that good deserves heartfelt thanks.
My thoughts go out the Powdrell family and the good people of Albuquerque. Wish I could remember the man by enjoying a big plate of his barbeque today. That's the best way to honor him that I can think of…
