Original Pancake House – Portland

We had been wanting to get over to the Original Pancake House for quite a few years, but never could find a reason drive all that way (from East County) and we had heard that the wait times could be quite long. Well, we finally made it over there and we were blown away. We did have to wait for about 10 minutes (on a Saturday), but really that isn’t too bad. When we were seated, the waitress was very attentive and took very good care of us. In fact, we watched her at a couple of other tables and …Read the Rest

It is difficult to find a restaurant version …Read the Rest

All of the pies we’ve tasted are excellent, from the minimalist za’atar (a thin but crunchy veneer of sesame seeds, herbs and spices) to the voluptuous, almost-a-casserole-on-a-crust special of pork pibil, mozzarella, Cotija, onions and cilantro. Though the toppings are enchanting, it’s mostly the crust that keeps us coming to …Read the Rest
