Best New Sandwiches
EndlessSimmer.com I wrote this post before coffee this morning, and it originally started out with a “Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?” headline. I knew I was caffeine dependent, but man…that’s unforgivable. Moving on: Endless Simmer has named America’s top-10 new sandwiches, and Meat Cheese Bread’s Maple comes in at #4. If you haven’t had the […]

Hopworks Part II
Details about the long whispered-about new Hopworks are starting to come out. The Bike Bar, so named for its location on the busiest bike route in the state, is opening up right next to New Old Lompoc the 5th Quadrant on N. Williams. The canopy of the bar will be constructed out of Oregon-made bike […]

NuMex Jalmundo!!!
During the research and development phase of the current drinking issue, I dutifully sampled the best that Lombard and 82nd’s deep fryers had to offer. While I had any number of good mozzarella sticks and onion rings, my biggest gripe came with quality of jalepeno poppers. It’s like really? That’s all the cheese you can […]

Bridgeport + World Cup Coffee = I Guess I Can Get Out Of Bed This Morning
T.S. Eliot is full of shit. April is not that cruel—at least occasionally it stops raining and I don’t have to wear gloves and goddammit I need new wiper blades and…so yeah, I’m saying January is far, far worse. In fact, I only have two things going for me right now: coffee and beer. Bridgeport, […]

Cart Compass PDX/BarBird
A couple new resources for fat computer nerds web-savvy, food-minded consumers: Verizon customers, there’s another reason to be excited about your new iPhone (I’m just insecurely playing into the meme…I’ve never had a problem with my AT&T service in Portland). There’s a new foodcart-finder app to compete with the Bing/Portland Monthly collaboration. Right now, the […]

Mixing Cake Batter With A Plastic Tip Cigar
I didn’t think this day would come. My biggest beef with covering the food/restaurant beat is that it hasn’t given me a lot of opportunity to post pictures of my Pavement quilting and decoupage projects or excerpt my Gary Young/Spiral Stairs slash fiction novel-in-progress. Situation rectified. January 20th, Pitchfork reports, Pavement will appear on the […]

Naomi Pomeroy And A Semi-Affordable Meal
Good news from the Eater PDX comment thread. Yesterday, Eater linked to Q&A Pomeroy did with Mother Jones (which, by the way, you should all go read). In it, she talks about being a woman in the male-dominated butchery scene, the challenges and rewards of a meat-themed restaurant, the food-safety bill, and her wish to […]

Dig A Pony, Or Maybe Not
2010 saw the closing of Niki’s—the Greek diner that sat on the corner of SE Grand and Morrison for 38 years—but 2011 will witness the space’s rebirth as a new bar, which may or not end up being called Dig a Pony. One of the new owners, Jacob Carey (formerly of the band Caves, and […]
