UFO Pizza 6024 NE Glisan, 238-3514 I grew up near Chicago, and was weaned on deep-dish, inch-thick piecrust. But that doesn’t mean I prefer it that way. No, I actually don’t need to eat an entire loaf of bread with my pizza. Instead, I like my crust just hefty enough to carry its load of […]

Sampling the Pirates’ Booty
Crab Bowl 7958 SW Barbur Blvd (503) 245-9954 Forget Martha Stewart and Wallpaper magazine–if it were up to me, I would decorate my whole house with a nautical theme.

Moonshine Of Mine
“Moonshine?” Why, I do declare! Didn’t that go out with Daisy Duke’s button-down bloomers? Hell, Naw! Well, yeah, but… Hell Naw! First of all, you don’t need to have spare teeth stuck behind your ears with bubblegum, or go barefoot with your toenails removed, or have a stringy Rasputin beard tucked into your jug to […]
Oh, My Aching Skull!
What causes a hangover? Naturally, it’s different for everyone. Certainly, three vodka tonics, a shot of whiskey, two PBRs, and a couple glasses of box wine will do it every time; but on the real, “free radicals” are to blame. Free radicals are unbalanced atoms created when your body processes alcohol. When your system tries […]
Class Up Your Liquor Cabinet!
Who are we to look down on an afternoon spent sucking down a half-rack of Pabst Blue Ribbon? Nevertheless, there are times when you need to wash up, put on a clean shirt and act all dignified and shit. This means occasionally shelling out for a bottle of the good stuff–like the following Ransom Cellars […]

Am I a Clone? The French-racecar-driver-worshiping Raëlians have announced that two clones have been born and that dozens more are due in the next few months. This has led to a great deal of international speculation as to the validity of the Raëlians’ claims, as well as the identity and location of the “clones.” Do […]
A Smoke-Flavored Patty
Burger King’s BK Veggie Burger Everywhere The existence of the Burger King Veggie sandwich has posed somewhat of a moral and ethical dilemma for vegetarians and vegans. The sandwich was introduced last spring in the wake of the failed-then-resurrected (in Canada) McDonald’s McVeggie burger and, according to every authority on vegetarianism on earth, it sends […]

Food Reviewer at Large
