First time in a Red Robin in over 20 years. Previous visits – we were regulars at the outlet in Calabasas, CA, when my kid was about 4. She liked the place then, would eschew it now as she’s a veggie. Tho the menu has some offerings even she would embrace. Bottomless fries? In any… Continue reading Portland, OR – Red Robin

Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
Couldn’t wait to try this one, after reading other descriptions of it online. Stella’s is a new cart at the 3rd & Stark pod, actually right on Stark, and they offer elaborate burger and pulled meat sandwiches. And one sausage. The payphone parked right in front of the cart might come in handy if you’re… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli
I was on my way to create the perfect Greek hamburger. I had heard about the burgers at Foti’s Greek Deli, and while they are not in the top third of anybody’s “Best of Portland” lists, they are often mentioned as a consistently good, and inexpensive burger. I had my own twist on it in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli
Portland, OR – Cheesesteak & Burgers Cart, Courthouse Sq. (Snore)
Oh, come on guys, let’s at least try! A friend of mine was carping about this cart the other day, and how they put shredded lettuce on their burgers, which he finds distasteful. I concur. But what I found more distasteful about this operator, was a) pre-cooked food service patties warmed on the grill, b)… Continue reading Portland, OR – Cheesesteak & Burgers Cart, Courthouse Sq.

Portland, OR – Laurelhurst Market
From the guys who brought us Simpaticaand Viande Meat Market, Laurelhurst is a meat market by day (literally), and a restaurant by night. With one of the most interesting dinner menus around, and access to their own butcher shop, Laurelhurst cooks up some interesting apps and entrees nightly from 5pm. On a Saturday night there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Laurelhurst Market
Portland, OR – Gracie’s at the Hotel DeLuxe
I like Gracie’s. My first exposure to it was my wife picked it for a birthday outing for me two years ago, and now it’s a regular stop for me. The décor is “old Hollywood”, and, with the exception of too many windows, I can sit there and imagine myself back at Musso & Frank,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Gracie’s at the Hotel DeLuxe
Portland, OR – George’s Giant Hamburgers
I feel like a New Yorker who has never been to the Statue of Liberty. I’ve lived here two years, and almost every day have driven by George’s Giant Hamburgers on 99w, and never stopped in, even tho it gets rave reviews locally. My excuses are lame – wrong time of day, no parking (very… Continue reading Portland, OR – George’s Giant Hamburgers
Lookin’ for Portland Burger Buddies
Do you live in Portland? Do you love burgers? dogs? pizza? I’m looking for a few burger buddies that I can call on occasion and say “hey, want to get a burger?” Think of it as a kind of reverse concept to the 12 step sponsor program. I call you, you call me, and one… Continue reading Lookin’ for Portland Burger Buddies

Portland, Or – Capitol Highway Deli Market
Off the Meaten Path At first blush, your fear is probably that this is going to be a non-meat story. T’aint so. It is, however, about an “alternative” burger, one that might be as close as your corner, like it is mine. Pre-cooked somewhere west of Wherethehellisthat? Ohio, flash-frozen (one hopes) and shipped to a… Continue reading Portland, Or – Capitol Highway Deli Market
