Always Room for Pi(Portland Mercury) |
Pi Day: The nerdiest reason to visit Portland's pie emporiums. by Patrick Alan Coleman ANYTIME IS A GOOD TIME to eat pie, but there are those who need an excuse. To that end, through a loop of logic that could only be dreamed up by a mind tormented by both mathematics and hunger, Pi Day was born. While March 14 (3/14) is more closely linked to celebrating the mathematical constant of pi—3.141593, that wily, irrational, transcendental number—it doesn't take a genius to extend the concept to culinary pie. After all, pies are most often… |
Best Meal for the Money(PortlandFood) |
I love taking people to Tanuki for the first time, just for that moment when the bill comes and they look at me in complete astonishment. I am also never disappointed in the $24 three-course menu at Tabla, and even though I always succumb to the wine pairings and dessert (therefore spending about $47 before tip), it remains a steal for the amount and quality of food. -------------------- |
What Is It About Restaurant Websites?(PortlandFoodAndDrink) |
Promises promises. Thought you had lost interest. How can we miss you if you won’t go away? You are so self-important, you believe you merit two farewells instead of a mere single one? For what it’s worth, I’ve seen long threads on this subject on Chowhound.com, which is an international site. People weighed in from such “parochial” places as NYC, SF, and Chicago. |
Lucky Strike, Sichuan Restaurant, 122nd & Powell(PortlandFood) |
does anyone know if the Powell location is open regular hours still? |
Foodie Survival Kit(PortlandFoodAndDrink) |
Clearly nobody was intrigued enough by this thing to actually click on link (needs fixing, FD). No way anyone takes that into a restaurant, and it seems dubious they would market it that way (despite inclusion of wasabi, soy, Tabasco). Would be great for vacation rental kitchens though. But, yes, as also noted, probable freshness issue, and overpriced. Also, no cumin! (which I would want to toast myself anyway). People have certainly been known to carry around their own sea salt or fresh pepper grinder for use in restaurants though. |

Willamette Week Cheap Eats(PortlandFood) |
See, that's what I hear over and over, but the one time I ordered it from Garden State it tasted almost as bad as it smelled. Which is to say, pretty bad. When you compare it to the superlative meatball hero at Bunk, there's no contest. Could it have been an off day for them? Sure. But nothing else I've eaten there has made me sit up and take notice. Just a lot of bland. I think the arancini balls are all right, though. -------------------- |
Pie(PortlandFood) |
I thought we had a pie thread somewhere, but I can't find it. However, to get things re-started until I do... http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/al...ent?oid=2348082 Sweet: Random Order Coffeehouse Savory: Immortal Pie and Larder -------------------- |
Chinese on Sandy or 82nd in Portland?(Chowhound's Latest » Metro Portland) |
I think Legin is very equal-opportunity and color-blind when it comes to serving horrifyingly-bad food. |
