Yeah yeah yeah. Stumptown, Starbucks, Pete’s. It all tastes like coffee to me. Some strong, some weak, some like cardboard and some like bitter over extracted burnt beans. But I love coffee, in every sense of the word. I drink americanos, espresso, lattes, cappuccino, the occasional cafe con leche, as drip and french press alike. [...]

Well Eater PDX just put out its list of important places at which to shovel food into your food receptacle – an even 38 of them, in fact! The list is almost perfect. Almost. From the Eater write-up deal: “This highly elite group [...]

We warned you all that something like this was coming down the pike, but, for the record, the foodcartapocalypse has finally started. And – surprise surprise – it started with Haterade-enthusiast Randy Leonard. Leonard, Portland’s own arch-villan, says he has a problem with carts that have built stand-alone patios and awnings so patrons can eat [...]

Like every other broke asshole in the city, we too dine at Portland’s fine roach coaches. Some of them are awful. But some of them are totally amazing. Every once in a while, we’ll review them here, because we are Portland’s number one public service news magazine and are compelled to do so by Zeus [...]

It’s true what the sign says. Tasty and Sons is…tasty. I don’t know about the “and Sons” part, but I’ll find out and report back. I had a delicious happy hour burger. I mean it was finger licking good. The drinks were fun and the atmosphere was muy bien. I will be going back thank [...]

Your local brewery is adding a new tasty sensation to their fall line up this Friday. Introducing their new and hop-tastic creation MPA Dry Hop. I’m sure all you dudes and dudettes are uberfamiliar with the process of dry hopping (not to be confused with the ever popular dry humping), and what it all means, [...]

It seems like everyone is doing sumpin’ on Halloween this year. Most of my friends are going to a house party, there are great shows at most the venues, Groupon did the whole Haunted Corn Maize ad, so that’s booked, there’s a costume contest on every corner, and I’m sure there’s a Michael Jackson Thriller [...]

We’re not really huge fans of the whole, “Hey, it’s such-and-such week this week!” thing. It’s a weekly occurrence anymore; every week its some different special “week”. It was “beer week” a few weeks back. Then it was, like, bacon week or something. We get it. Beer and bacon. Week. Who gives a shit? That shit happens [...]

Our local, almost-bankrupt joke pamphlet, The Oregonian, just published a non-foodie’s guide to non-foodie eating establishments. It’s filled with some useful stuff about Portland eateries. It is also filled with the most trite, shallow, worthless bullshit you will ever read anywhere. The story, which examined local chain restaurants, was a stupid premise in the first [...]

Everyone is writing about food carts nowadays. It’s the wave of the future, of lunch, right guys? Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson didn’t want to be left out, so she penned this nice blog column deal about Portland’s food cart scene. The fact that she’s never actually eaten at one…well, that doesn’t matter much, [...]
