621 SE Morrison Portland, OR 97214 (503) 477-9515 Finally I got there. Bunk Sandwiches has been on the list, well, since it opened last fall. I hate to admit it, but gettin’ out of my NoPo neck of the woods can sometimes be a challenge. The wait often makes the epicurean joy all the more [...]
Just a few little things I thought I’d pass around: John Brodie, aka, the gentleman behind Le Happy is embarking on a very impressive gallery project. The Store of the Month just opened and boasts a huge artist roster. Basic Rights Oregon just released their 10th Annual Bites for Rights restaurant listings. Not a bad [...]
1006 N. Killingsworth Portland, OR 97217 (503) 998-1387 When I first heard the rumor a few weeks ago about another (good sounding) coffee shop going in within a quarter mile of my house in North Portland, I thought no… no, way. It’s just too much… I mean, right? Coffeehouse 5, Albina Press, Blend, Ristretto, Fresh [...]
505 NW 14th Avenue Portland, OR 97209 (503) 274-2469 I’ve never met a sandwich I didn’t like. Truly. Throw a bagel into the mix and I get weak at the knees. But I’m also a mild carb-o-phobe, so bagel sandwiches aren’t something I have the pleasure of enjoying often. So Chow is definitely a treat. [...]
8438 N Lombard Street Portland, OR 97203 (503) 715-1006 Sure, everyone loves organic food. Sure, everyone tries to buy it — but really, how many restaurants are 100 percent organic? Hmm? Yeah, not too many, because organic shit’s expensive, and some ingredients simply don’t come easily with that option. Well, Ladybug Organic Coffee takes those [...]
Moving, closing, opening, talking: Long time granola dining room, Vita Cafe is closed until mid-May. They lost their lease and are in the process of moving directly across the street. I ran into the drama about the Floyd’s-King Harvest move and yeah, they shouldn’t have stayed open during construction. We had to practically shove the [...]
2376 NW Thurman St. Portland, OR 97210 (503) 954-1737 As previously reported, Kenny & Zukes SandwichWorks is officially up and running. Being somewhat of a sandwich whore, I booked a visit. Let me first make an analogy: Blossoming Lotus is to chicks as SandwichWorks is to dudes. I love how gender plays itself out in [...]
3922 W Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90029 (323) 663-6173 And then there was a coffee company named Intelligentsia… with more barista championships than one can shake a stick at, these guys are easily at the top of their game. Needless to say, when I had 38 hours in Los Angeles, it was the numero [...]
N. Mississippi Ave. and N. Shaver St. Portland, OR. 97217 (503) 285-0701 Steamy tonics. Berry blends with granola. Belgium waffles and fried egg sandwiches… these are just some of the tempting offerings from the cutest cart in all of Portland. But calling it a cart, just doesn’t feel right. MoxieRX is more than a food [...]
