Re: “How to Make Your Million”
I...feel misled by this article's title.
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
^^People have different perceptions and tastes. Welcome to Humanity. I did find the review you posted useful however, so thank you
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
the olive review is much tastier and has zip:

Michael Russell did not like Southland Whiskey and had difficulty finding anything praiseworthy about it save the thick cloth napkins.
If one reviewer disses a place that immediately makes other reviewers look suspicious when they +++ a joint.
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
@Justin:
They really serve rye and bourbon unavailable anywhere else becuase it doesn't meet OLCC guidelines? I think you may have just gotten Southland in trouble.
Good review, but I would have liked to see more commentary on the Patriot Paks included with each meal, since they figure so impotantly in the photo. Why don't more restaurants offer these? Is it because they HATE AMERICA?
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
Smokehouse 21, which is located only a few blocks away on NW 21st has far superior BBQ and sides. Good enough to stack up to the best KC, Memphis, and Southern Carolina BBQ I've had. I'm from St. Louis and I was beginning to think there was no good BBQ here until I discovered that place. The whiskey selection at Southland is amazing though. There are several ryes and bourbons here that you can't get anywhere else in town as they are not OLCC approved.
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
I found the pulled pork sandwich less than noteworthy, the shrimp and grits uninspired, the whoopie pie an insulin-spiking nightmare, and the southern punch... I dunno, reasonably alcohol-y, I guess. Oh, and the floors were curiously slippery. I'll reserve judgment, being as I haven't been through much of the menu, but that said, I doubt I'll be getting through much of the menu. To their credit, though, I understand they have a few different whiskeys to choose from...
Re: “Southland Whiskey Kitchen”
You think there's good BBQ in Portland? Seriously?
Re: “Swiss Classics at Cafe Hibiscus”
Sadly, he's making a Hawaiian reference in ignorance to the actual area between Beaverton and Hillsboro. Would have been a great setup...I ACHE for these.

Re: “Swiss Classics at Cafe Hibiscus”
how is NE Alberta in Aloha? i'm too confused to even look at a map
But as a person of swiss heritage i will find this place and denigrate it's offerings as bogus.
Re: “Swiss Classics at Cafe Hibiscus”
Their salad dressing is amazing! DO NOT NOT TRY IT
Re: “Reality Check”
Your best review. Very sincere, i like it.
Re: “Reality Check”
Great personal summary. Appreciate the mention of MEET BBQ Kansas City Style Ribs. John does a great job and gets only the best meat that he picks out personally.
Re: “Reality Check”
The "Being 5, 60 and Buddha at the same time" line from the Staniches review is so perfect is made me bleat out loud. Great piece.
Re: “Reality Check”
Nice, good insight. Thanks Chris
Re: “Ocean's 11 (AM to PM)”
I cannot believe that Chris failed to mention the ridiculous high quality polenta at the meatballs place. Seriously, it's the best I've had in Portland.
Re: “Ocean's 11 (AM to PM)”
So that's where the pie spot moved to.
RSSGoing to Seattle?
Re: “How to Make Your Million”
Absolutely love this part, "I'd like to see David Howitt, founder and CEO of the Meriwether Group, compete in an inspirational-speaker cage match with Tony Robbins—largely because I would like to purchase Robbins' severed hands at the end".
