Davis Street Tavern, Portland OR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mr. Hot Shot Portland business lawyer<\/strong> Will Du Val<\/a> and I ventured down 5th Street looking for\u00a0 mild repast, and passed by Hamburger Mary’s<\/a> and Theo’s<\/a> in favor of Davis Street <\/a>– a joint neither of us had experienced, but both of us had heard good things.\u00a0 From whence, we do not recall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither of us seemed to be in the mood for a “food experience” but rather the mundane task or eating to live (not living to eat).<\/strong><\/p>\n

So we did, perusing the menu and each of selecting 3 or 4 things we couldn’t live without, before figuratively throwing darts at a disinterested waiter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lunch menu is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0The attorney at the table went with the Mac n Cheese, after dithering over possibly selecting the fish tacos.\u00a0\u00a0 I sample his pasta, and it was downright tasty. It was labeled “three cheese bechamel”, and at least one of the fromages was on the tangier side which gave the noodles a nice bite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And BurgerDogBoy?\u00a0 I really, really DID think of ordering something else, but I got the burger, adorned with Tillamook sharp and braised pig belly ( a tasty ham-like cut).\u00a0 The burger was prepared as specified with an ultra-soft yet study sesame bun, that I have sampled before on other Portland burgers, so probably a selection from one of our great artisan bakers.\u00a0 Garnish included paper thin pickle chips, perhaps house-cured, slightly sweet., shredded lettuce, and “tomato jam.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fries were thin and crispy.\u00a0 Curiousity note:\u00a0 Once again, another eatery w\/o salt & pepper on the table.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Service was ‘business lunch perfunctory”, and today, that’s all we were looking for.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll try them again.<\/strong><\/p>\n
