Mezze Style Eating in Portland at Evo

April 16, 2016

The small plates food experience is nothing new in Portland. You’ve got tapas at Sur Lie, small plates at Lolita, and mezze style eating at Evo, as well as many others. Mezze style is interesting, because it’s more of a Middle Eastern concept. At Evo, sharing is encouraged, especially when you’re in a large group. […]

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! […]

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 […]
