SLL: Get Your Geek on With Foodgeeks

In the Portland Tech community it is unheard of not to have a side project, something that you love to do but that doesn’t fit squarely into the tech industry or has nothing to do with your day job. Many of us have multiple labors of love. Ryan Snyder, creator of Foodgeeks.com is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Chat with Burgerville

by Aaron

Over the past few months there have been a couple articles here on OurPDX featuring Burgerville, a local business that does things a bit differently than most of their fast food competitors. Jeremy wrote a piece in April talking about Burgerville’s local, sustainable practices, and last month I wrote a recap of a tweetup [...]

VendrTV in town shooting Food Carts

by Dieselboi

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would know that Portland’s food cart scene is going gangbusters. We have “pods” of carts now in 4 distinct locations around the city with anywhere from 5 carts up to 20 carts per pod. And these aren’t all just hot dog vendors. We’re talking Thai, Egyptian, New [...]

Burgerville + Beer + Twitter = Excellent

by Aaron

Last week, a group of local Twitter users arranged a meetup at the Salmon Creek Burgerville. Part of the motivation was just to meet some folks in real life, but the other reason for this particular location is that it’s the pilot location for beer and wine sales at Burgerville.
Don’t fear the beer. [...]

by PAgent

Marybeth, we are blessed to have a vast selection of “street food” here in Portland, as has been discussed previously on this very website. A good place to [...]

Hollywood Farmers Market Premiers

by Jeremy Towsey-French

Spring has certainly sprung. The city is in full bloom, with endless rows of cherry trees coming into their own in a cycle of pure brilliance; as one tree gracefully halts, the next begins its surge.
For many in stumptown, springtime in Portland is marked by the start of the Portland Farmers Market. For those of [...]

stop that cart!

by CamiKaos

This probably isn’t a good time for me to be writing this post because it’s going to be all about food. And as I type? Well I can smell the yummy salmon I’m cooking up for lunch. If I had worse posture I might be drooling on my keyboard right now…
On Saturday from 5:30 – [...]

Hey, Portland? Let’s talk over lunch…

by Radio Gretchen

Hmm… maybe I should have a catchy title for my Rediscovering Portland series, but I haven’t come up with anything yet. I like the comment from my last post that suggests a sort of couples counseling. Based on the feedback so far, Portland could use some couples counseling with more than a few [...]

BrunchBox – food cart breakfast

by Dieselboi

Brunchbox breakfast
Earlier this winter, I was searching high and low around the food cart pods for someone offering up breakfast. I’m not looking for steak and eggs or waffles with strawberries, but I wanted something other than what the local coffee shops overcharged for. Seriously, $4 for a ciabatta egg sandwich? [...]
