Portland, OR – Doner Kebab

The sign outside says “German food”, and doner kebab certainly qualifies, despite its origins – it has become one of the most popular take-out dishes in Germany.   The words “doner kebab” literally mean “rotating meat”, and you might be familiar with the concept from other cultures – being similar to a gyro, or shawarma. I’d… Continue reading Portland, OR – Doner Kebab

One review calls this “a fake British pub.”  I don’t know about that, it is what… Continue reading Portland, OR – Thirsty Lion Pub & Grill

Portland, OR – Beez Neez

Thank god for the Food Carts of Portland people. Their site tells me what’s new, and their commentary does a little pre-screening for me. I can (mostly) skip the bad stuff. The other day, they were talking about Beez Neez, a new cart on the 3rd Street pod. “Reindeer sausage”, said they. This I had… Continue reading Portland, OR – Beez Neez

Portland – Otto’s Sausage Kitchen – Portland Hot Dog

“Been there, done that, got a t-shirt,”  as they say.  I love Otto’s, and what better place to celebrate National Hot Dog day?!?!?    You pick your meat and they flop it on the grill outside.  I opted for two of Otto’s “old-fashioned” wieners, which are nicely spiced, and I’d call them medium-sized (maybe 5 to… Continue reading Portland – Otto’s Sausage Kitchen – Portland Hot Dog
