\u00a0Please!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll love this place. \u00a0They&#8217;re mobile, and they do cater. \u00a0Their plans include Q dominance of the world and brick and mortars &#8211; I have no doubt they will make it. \u00a0Since the plate prices (under $10) include the sides and drink, it&#8217;s a great value, as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/pork3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7350\" title=\"pork3\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/pork3.png\" alt=\"Pork Chop City Portland Oregon\" width=\"347\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We headed out to pick up some office supplies at the world&#8217;s worst location for same, and over hill, over dale, all along the dusty trail, we (at least I) felt like we had missed two meal times in the process, and whipped into the parking lot at\u00a09525 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy, Beaverton, OR, to pause&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/?p=7347\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Portland, OR &#8211; Pork Chop City<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,34,35],"tags":[2725,2727,2958],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7347"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7347\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
