Dim Sum at Wong's King


(PortlandFood)

I suspect that places like Ocean City and others upping their game, while Wong's slipping, has cut into their business. This is good evidence, though, that Wong's still has game.

Nicholas Restaurant


(PortlandFood)

Yeah, Arabian Breeze definitely had more items. The best thing about it was the sajh bread, basically a giant flour tortilla (though I believe it's leavened) or thin pita. All made to order. The flavors on most of their stuff just wasn't that good. I actually think Nicholas isn't among the better places either, except with their meats. They started a wonderful trend and set a great bar for others to live up to, but they've long since been surpassed.

St. Paddy’s at Home: Your Stove, Guinness, and You


(Portland Mercury)

My plan for St. Patrick’s Day? I think I’m going to stay home, crank open a bottle of Jameson, put on a Pogues record, paint myself green, and go from there. Likely I’ll wind up attempting to lure leprechauns from my neighbor’s hedgerow at 3 am by bellowing “Dirty Old Town” at the top of my lungs. You know, just like last year.

Review: Toro Bravo


(PortlandFoodAndDrink)

Toro Bravo has become a benchmark. Whenever I eat somewhere else and the experience is not stellar, I say, “Darn, I could have spent the same money and had a fantastic meal at Toro Bravo.”

Foodie Survival Kit

How about “insufferable prig”? That would probably cover a lot of bases.

The word Schnitzel actually means cutlet or escallop. Wiener Schnitzel may only be prepared with veal, it is a law. There are many other Schnitzel preparations using various meats with pork being a very popular and cost effective substitute. Cutlets from a pork top round are more commonly used for schnitzel and even from the shoulder. Porkloin also used, tenderloin just the spendiest.

50 Plates


(PortlandFood)

Five of us back here recently. Much improved in all respects.

First, our waitress, Kristin - very familiar with the menu and wine, friendly, observant, attentive, pleasant. This is in stark contrast to my last visit. The wine service this time was much better - if I nitpick, my only complaint was that she didn't come by often enough to fill glasses that were dry and her pouring technique wasted some wine on the table. That being said, 100% better than in October 2008.
