Burger Week runs August 11-17th I never thought Smallwares, at NE 46th and Fremont, would get into the Burger Week fray, but once they did I knew Johanna Ware would deliver a killer. I think she’s been holding back for years, because she knew once she put her signature style on a burger, she’d instantly […]

Burger Week Profile: Slow Bar
Burger Week runs August 11-17th Back for a second year after a stellar (and hardcore) performance in Burger Week 2013, Slow Bar isn’t content to rest on its laurels. This year the legendary SE Grand burger institution is mixing it up with a Banh Mi Burger — only $5, remember — and it, just like […]

Burger Week Profile: Club 21’s $5 Shadow Burger
Burger Week runs August 11-17th Club 21, originally a Russian Orthodox Church built in the 1930s, now houses some of the darkest air found in modern bars. It’s the dive that refreshes, and it features one of the few barstools enshrined to Elliott Smith. They’re returning to burger week with another of their classics: The […]

Burger Week Profile: Double Barrel Tavern
Burger Week runs August 11-17th Double Barrel Tavern has the wooden guts and brass trimmings of a wild old bar, the sort of place The Right Stuff‘s desert flyboys would have tipped neat bourbon from thick-bottomed shots while women with Liberty curls waited semi-indifferently for them to die. It is conveniently located on Division street, […]

Burger Week Profile: Ate-Oh-Ate’s $5 Char Siu Burger
Portland Burger Week runs August 11-17th Ate-Oh-Ate‘s burger has always been on my Portland top-five list. Today I learned why: their grind isn’t just straight one-note chuck, it’s ground from the trimmings of all the different beef cuts they produce at their sister location, Laurelhurst Market Restaurant and Butcher Shop. That’s one of the reasons […]

Burger Week is Coming! Aug 11-17th
Last year’s Burger Week brought Portland to its knees. Traffic on all city streets stood at full gridlock, as diners fought to reach the thirteen destination restaurants offering their special $5 creations. The state’s beef supply dwindled. People jumped from the rooftops, hoping to land at a table at Slow Bar, White Owl, Ate-oh-Ate, and […]

Tacos ‘n’ Tequila! Saturday!
This Saturday, for $15, you can relive the finest hours of my college career: stumbling around drinking tequila while heavily subsidized food appears. Only in the case of your lucky trouser-seat, the chefs are four of Portland’s best, and not a team of disgruntled hair-netters just as suited to tamping down fresh asphalt. Today’s announcement […]
