Oh look, here’s another article about restaurant owners bitching because big bad food carts are taking away their business and making our city’s fine parking lots smell like curry and, um, fucking awesome soups and so on.

It’s no news that Oregon produces some of the greatest wine in America. We are lucky as Portlanders, because it’s only an hour to some of these reputable producers, and on a day like we had Saturday, there’s no excuse to not hit 99 and head south to Dundee, Carlton, Amity and McMinnville. Turns out, [...]

Your Editor has this wicked hops plant in his back yard. It’s been growing like crazy all “summer”, over this wooden arch deal we got from Home Depot or someplace. And now, this hops plant is covered in hops – like, tons of the stuff. We don’t make beer. We read that you can make [...]

Tanuki is a fucking bar, not a damn restaurant. It is a place for heavy drinking and boisterous socialization. Profanities and tales of debauchery still linger in the air from evenings past.

After Baconfest my buddy wanted to hit up Upright Brewing and I obliged. If you don’t know about Upright you better fucking ask somebody. I was about to take a picture and this random psycotic drunk dude jumped in and posed. I am pretty sure he was holding his hand like that on purpose. [...]
