Meriwether’s Restaurant, on Vaughn. You’ve got to appreciate the commitment to fresh produce from their own Skyline Farm. Had a cup of prosciutto and lentil soup which was great, and a type of hot NYC deli meat/cheese half-sandwich. Love this place for dinner, mostly. When you can sit on the patio, with a glass of…
SILK
Had lunch today at SILK. The good news is the food was delicious, as is always the case. Had the Saigon skewered pork meatballs topped with lettuce, mint and roasted peanuts as an appetizer. Was very pleased with the lemongrass soup with shrimp, fish, mussels, calamari and vermicelli rice noodles (plus jalapeños and lime). The…
Kenny and Zuke’s
NYC food! Bagels are great. Must come back for deli sandwich and fixens.
Pazzo
Was torn last night as to where to go with spouse for dinner. Really wanted the spaghetti and meatballs with chili oil, at Justa Pasta, but emailed Chef Roland and he said it would not be on the menu that night (very cool of the Chef to email-chat with a peasant such as myself). So,…
Justa Pasta, Cont’d
More great Justa Pasta. Crisp and garlic tasty Ceaser salad, and outstanding spaghetti and meatballs with chili aioli. So good!
Acadia, Again
Another great meal at Acadia. Had the Blue crab, white remoulade as an appetizer. Delicious. After several visits, finally choose the Soft Shell Crab Po’boy with jalapeno tartar sauce, fully dressed, with a side of red beans. Oh my Lord. So very good! http://www.creolapdx.com
Drive Thru
I know it shows my suburban reality and likely illustrates my laziness (or aversion to getting wet), but I sure enjoy a drive thru Starbucks!
Mashita
Mashita Teriyaki, in Tigard. No frills, plate lunch style teriyaki. Standard in all ways, and portions quite large.
Slabtown
Ribs & BBQ at this place. On Vaughn. Had the pulled-pork sandwhich with beans as a side. Good, hearty bbq, slow cooked in an unattended back parking lot??
Acadia
Acadia, a New Orleans Bistro. On NE Fremont Street. Lunch is only served on Wednesdays. Place is great; I really want to do a dinner here on a warm summer night. Some wine, some twinkle lights, a little jazz, sit outside, yum. Today had the crawfish, shrimp, and blue crab rillettes with toast (sorry no…
