Marco’s Cafe

Nice breakfast cafe menu, well prepared, big, hot and tasty (yes, breakfast, get your minds out of the gutter, boys…). I was there with the latest Breakfast Club UYE and showed up before the others.  While I was waiting out front, I got asked at least 5 times if I needed anything.  Nice!  Eventually, I went up to the bar to order while I continued to hang out.  I was sorely tempted by huckleberry pancakes or a bacon scramble, or roast beef hash, or… well, you get the point, but I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak.  As a Texas transplant, …Read the Rest

11 Different Donut Shops – Portland

I’m not sure what it is about food with a hole that so titillates us. All I know is that when I catch sight of a plain glazed raised doughnut or fresh cinnamon raisin bagel, my heartrate skips three gears. I never met a fudge bagel I didn’t feel the …Read the Rest

Cadillac Cafe – Portland

With all the 5-star reviews already written for the Cadillac Cafe, I hesitated adding my two cents. What more can I say about greatness? I’d been before. I love the place. I thought ” What can I offer that’s unique and windswept in the review world for a place that …Read the Rest

Stumptown coffee is served here, ok, so go. No really, this is the quintessential corner cafe. Nondescript, cozy, and most importantly great food and great coffee. I had heard about this little cafe from a few different people. I finally got a chance to go check it out. I had …Read the Rest

Mother’s Bistro and Bar

Sitting at Mother’s at 1:15pm on a Thursday afternoon looking at all the dust on the fixtures above me, it seems the place needs a good cleaning. Though the restaurant is only about 20% full, I am surrounded by empty tables full of dirty dishes that haven’t been cleared. Several …Read the Rest

Pine State Biscuits

Pine State Biscuits

Witness the humble American biscuit. It’s not very big, it doesn’t store well, and it’s not particularly attractive. I think it’s safe to say that you won’t see biscuits at your local Boulangerie any time soon. Biscuits just don’t get that kind of respect. Portland Food and Drink – Read …Read the Rest

Tasty ‘n’ Sons breaks the boundaries of brunch

A Bloody Mary is to brunch what a beer is to a ballgame: the accompaniment, the message, the flag. This particular tomato-red flag is flying high — not only highly spiced but also extremely crowded, featuring celery, celery salt rim, horseradish, lemon, a toothpick of pickled vegetables and what looked …Read the Rest

Portland Eggs Benedict (Part 1)

Those who know my eating habits, know that breakfast is my least favorite meal. I can be downright snobby about my disdain for breakfast as a class of foodstuffs. To be honest, I think of breakfast as kid’s food: bland, sweet, and lots of starch. Pancakes drenched in maple syrup, …Read the Rest

Breakfast: Five favorites for biscuits and gravy

Forget grilled salmon. Portland has gone crazy for biscuits — tall or short, cut or drop, flaky or fluffy. Fanatics may disagree, but everyone seems to want them served one way: smothered in country gravy. No matter how you ladle it, biscuits and gravy is just the thing to fuel …Read the Rest
