This half house salad comes with a surprise if you add “deli meat.” Usually part of some charcuterie board ingredients, when added to the salad: Boom! Very tasty and filling. Thank goodness for my neighborhood Stickmen!

I just love this stuff.

Pine Shed today. Pastrami Friday. Look at that bark! And the loaded mac & cheese. Dang. 🤤

Found Oswego Noodle House recently and was immediately drawn to their “PP Wings,” on their menu. Described as possessing “Portland’s renowned sweet chili fish sauce” on tantalizing wings. Well, sadly, “Ike’s Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings” these are not. But hell, it was worth a shot!

Smoked Pastrami Fridays. Hells yes!!

I got a buddy who cooks up insane meals with his wife. Not sure who is the chef and who is the muse, but damn, that is some fine food prep!!

Was eating this ramen in this hole in the wall in 1998. Here it is, some 27 years later and they are still serving it up. Perfect lunch for a dark, rainy day.

I give up and will say it again, this plate is addictive. Jalapeño cheddar biscuits covered in chorizo gravy, two eggs, chives, and house made diablo sauce. Insider tip? Sit at the bar for great service!
