A Case For The Hole In The Wall

November 10, 2014

Hole in the wall: a place of solitary confinement; dungeon. (noun) This is the loose definition of a “hole in the wall”. Not exactly accurate, but it certainly captures the negative connotation behind the words “a hole in the wall restaurant”. Now, many people have said and will continue to say that there is no […]

Pizza In Portland

June 17, 2014

Hello again, foodies and followers! Yes, it’s been a while since my last post, but I can explain. I went to LA for a week to visit a friend (and we had many foodie adventures) and now I’m in the process of moving. To say things have been a bit chaotic would be an understatement […]

Pai Men Miyake

November 21, 2013

This weekend I decided to give Pai Men Miyake a second chance for lunch. Considering the backlash over my review, it seemed like maybe I hadn’t given Pai Men a chance. So I went back, this time for lunch with my friend. Happy to report I left feeling full this time, and the pork buns […]

Little Tap House

October 17, 2013

Being a foodie on the Portland food scene means sometimes waiting six months to try a popular restaurant. For whatever reason, it has taken me six months to try Little Tap House, which is conveniently down the street from my apartment. Well, it’s well worth the wait. Quality food and the freshest ingredients available. What’s […]

Salvage Barbecue

September 9, 2013

I am so full beyond belief with Barbecue as I write this. I went to Salvage for dinner Thursday night, and I am highly impressed. I’ve always been a Barbecue fan, and pulled pork is my favorite. It was disappointing when I found out that Barbecue isn’t a top priority in Portland, but not anymore! […]

Lucky for me, within a 3-5 block radius are some of the best restaurants I have yet to try! Next on the list: Hot Suppa! Having visited twice this summer, once […]

Boda

July 23, 2013

Though I love Thai food, it’s taken me a few months to visit the Thai place just 3 blocks away from my apartment. I had 3 different people recommend Boda to me, and now I can tell you why! It is great, and has some awesome late night food offerings, perfect for the college student […]

King of The Roll

July 7, 2013

Considering the fact that I’m now a “New Englander” (kind of!) it’s been a goal of mine to try the sushi here in Portland. I wish I could give you guys a comprehensive sushi guide, but for some reason, sushi is quite ridiculous in price here compared to Chicago. Go figure… However, King of the […]

LFK

May 15, 2013

When I read the Portland Press Herald’s review of LFK, I was certainly intrigued. And when I checked in on Foursquare, the tips were almost all: try the mac and cheese and the burger. So I did both, though I have to tell you, LFK is like no other place in Portland. Located next to […]
