by djtv

UPDATE: It’s time to pull this post back out for Thanksgiving, 2009!
We’ve provided updates to the bar information below where needed, plus can tell you that BarFly has a more exhaustive list of drinking establishments that’ll be open on Thanksgiving. Some of us just might do some live-tweeting in an ‘on-the-spot’ reporting kinda way [...]

Food Carts Portland on NBC Nightly News

by Betsy Richter

We knew NBC had been in town in late August to follow Dieselboi around on a typical food cart odyssey. We knew that they’d been at the food carts at SE Hawthorne & 11th late on a Friday evening to observe the scene for themselves. And we knew they’d been by Strange Love [...]

Sub Rosa

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.

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, [...]

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 [...]
