You probably already know this, but it’s Burger Week! Also, Burger Week draws to a close tomorrow so get out there and eat!

This week, the Mercury reported that restaurateurs Thang and Linh Tran are opening XinhXinh Vietnamese Bistro in close-in SE. Our wine writer reconsidered chardonnay (it’s better than we all think it is). And one of our food critics rounded up five of the best happy hour options in the city (don’t sleep on that Paley’s Place HH burger).

The Oregonian had the news that Big’s Chicken, the chicken sandwich spot that burned down last summer, has returned—in Beaverton—and this time around it’s offering fried chicken and a cheeseburger.

Portland Monthly reported that Adam and Jackie Sappington, the meat-loving power couple behind The Country Cat, are taking over vegan joints Harlow and Prasad. The Sappingtons say they won’t tinker with the menu too much at first, but they do drop a hint at the end of the read that they’re considering, either jokingly or seriously that they might develope something close to vegan lard. The magazine also reported that Super Deluxe’s Micah Camden is seriously considering some serious fast food burger expansion. And then they visited Duane Sorensen’s Holiday in the revamped Roman Candle space. The takeaway? It’s the sleeper/surprise hit of 2018.

Finally, Eater reported that some old Veritable Quandary alums are opening Normadie, which’ll serve oyster and charred octopus in the old Rue space. It reported that Side Yard Farm's Stacy Givens won’t in fact open her food incubator Community Supported Kitchen in Cully as she had planned to—but she is shopping for other locations. And because this is the stupidest timeline in the history of history, some dumb conspiracy theorist is out there spreading rumors that another child sex ring is happening at a famous food institution, this time at Voodoo Doughnut.
