I had an urge to roast coffee today, and so I stopped by my bean purveyor of choice, Mr. Green Beans, on N. Mississippi in Portland. On the way out, I noticed a new next door neighbor (new to me), which is called Mac! Mac and Cheesery, and I thought to myself, “Self, you’re on… Continue reading Portland, OR – Mac! Mac and Cheesery

Portland, OR – Horn of Africa Restaurant
Met my pal here for the lunch buffet today, it’s a bargain at about $8, and enough variety to satisfy whatever kind of “vore” you are. I had curried goat, the minced beef casserole common to that region, greens, hummus, bideena bread, hibiscus tea. Picked up a cup of soup and the falafel plate to… Continue reading Portland, OR – Horn of Africa Restaurant

Portland, OR – Tubby’s Deli
Had a quick bite to eat here while meeting a friend from out of town who was doing some biz in this neighborhood. I’m pretty leery of places in Portland that have the word “Deli” in their name; here it can often mean “lottery games and hot dogs,” but such was not the case today.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Tubby’s Deli

Joined our friends for holiday lunch at this neighborhood establishment. It’s close to our house, and I’ve only been once before, for take out soup for Mrs. Burgerdogboy; the Mrs. loves her soup.

Beaverton, OR – Buffet Palace
Quit your hatin’. Why does this place get panned so much? I love Asian buffets, and this is one of the better ones I have been to. Located near the Cedar Hills Mall, Buffet Palace offers more choices for lunch and dinner than you can shake a stick at. (What does that mean, anyway?) From… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Buffet Palace

Portland, OR – Little Bird, Son of Le Pigeon
Arguably, in many people’s opinions, Portland’s Le Pigeon is one of the finest restaurants around. When the chef decided to open outlet # 2, ‘son of Le Pigeon” he called on his culinary skill to make a downsized, casual version, “Little Bird Bistro,” across from the US Bank Tower in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Little Bird, Son of Le Pigeon
Portland, OR – Lucy’s Table
Portland deal maker attorney William Du Val and I had scheduled on of our regular “lunch conferences”, and today we hit Lucy’s Table in the Uptown neighborhood of Portland. Lucy’s has been around awhile, and constantly gets rave reviews, tho often the reviews have to do with the “romantic ambiance” as much as the creative… Continue reading Portland, OR – Lucy’s Table
