Sub Rosa

by PAgent

For most Portlanders Dundee, Oregon is just the slow spot on Highway 99. But if you were to pause on your way to the casino, take a deep breath and look around, you might find that Dundee possesses a variety of charms. The surrounding countryside features beautiful rolling hills, dotted with a number of respected [...]

It’s Definitely a Soup Day…

by Betsy Richter

…so what does PDX have when the weather just calls out for hot, slurpy soup? A quick & dirty Twitter poll from the @ourpdx account netted the following:

@taradublinrocks: Matzoh ball soup from @mothersbistro
@photobyamber: For when we are sick, homemade chicken noodle all the way. Chicken, rice or noodles, carrots, potatoes, onions, extra [...]

Portland Pedal Power

by PAgent

I’m becoming downright fond of the new Green Line. By hopping on a MAX at lunchtime, I can visit entirely new food carts, carts previously unattainable given the state of my ancient and creaking knees and the temporal limits of my lunch hour.
I was on such a mission today, visiting the carts at SW 3rd [...]

Is It Soup Yet?

by Betsy Richter

A colleague of mine is a Soupevangelist. Yes, he loves his soup in general — but he totally adores the soup that gets delivered to him every week, courtesy of SoupCycle.
And because he’s all about sharing the good news — if not the soup itself, he arranged for us to [...]

Don’t Mess With The Mouse

by Cosmic Charlie

Mickey Mouse is everywhere these days.
Disney just bought Marvel Comics. They’ve been cornering the market on all things youthful for decades, but it seems they are branching out into the adult world.
Walt Disney allowed use of Donald Duck and Goofy for U of O and OSU logos in the ’70s. (I had a Oregon State/Goofy [...]

SLL: Food Carts Portland

by CamiKaos

I learned a very important lesson on our most recent episode of SLL… I’m not cut out to do a food podcast. It isn’t that I don’t like the topic it’s that all that talk of food and eateries makes me so hungry I want to bolt out of my seat and find a [...]

The devil made me do it…

by Cosmic Charlie

I wish to use this public forum to apologize to my fellow bus riders. I’m sorry. I really stunk up the bus today.
Regular riders of TriMet are familiar with the usual smells. A lack of bathing or laundry, the after-effects of last night’s lasagna or enchiladas, a bag of Indian food or Mickey D’s, [...]

Only 6 More Days ‘Til Pie Nirvana!

Sure, you may love your @whiffies fried pies. Line up to score full pies at places like Random Order or Bi-Partisan Cafe. But the ultimate Pie Event of the summer is happening this Sunday (Sundayyy….Sundayyyy….)
Yes, the second annual Portland Pie-Off moves to a new location — Peninsula Park — starting at [...]

If This is Church’s, Call Me Atheist

by Aaron

Church’s Chicken is a southern-style fast food chicken restaurant that just opened up its first Metro-area location just a couple miles from my house. Tonight I talked my wife into checking out the new restaurant which opened this week (apparently today was their fourth day). It’s fast food chicken… what could possibly go [...]

Thatch Tiki Mug Release Party 7/1!

by Betsy Richter

It’s the perfect weather for tiki drinks, isn’t it?
I wouldn’t have said that a year or so ago (I’ve developed a taste for drinks I’ve considered a bit more ‘grown up’ – bourbon, whiskey and the like.) But thanks to two other OurPDX authors, I have grown to appreciate all things tiki late in [...]

Beef in the Blood

by morganpdx

I’m not a foodie. My palate has all the refinement as that of a rhino. Or perhaps a giraffe. Like the one that thought my brother, about 4 at the time, would be a tasty treat.
But that doesn’t mean food isn’t an important part of my life. And as a transplanted [...]
