(And this morning, there was a bump in traffic coming from this site. Hello there, Design Sponge visitors!)

#8 Alyssa Gregg
#7 Jack Yoss
#6 Jonathan Gold
#5 Jake Martin

#5 Du Kuh Bee

Hoo boy do I recognize that one. That was one of those posts that I sandbagged to myself in preparation for splitting off from PF.org, posted onto Chowhound, got picked up by the Oregonian and has now jumped the shark. Don't get me wrong, DKB is good, it's just not that good.
#4 Laurelhurst Market

LM was clicking on all cylinders right off the bat, and hasn't really slowed down yet.
#3 Best Tamales in Portland
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/634374
A discussion about tamales leading to a couple of spots that ExtraMSG has championed, namely Sabor Salvadoreño and La Estacion. Of course, now that it's winter time, I'm reminded that a lot of families have tamal-making parties, so fire up your biggest stock pot and join in the festivities.
#2 Portlander's Guide to Visiting Seattle
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/638922
The Chowhound board tends to be very Seattle-centric, but this pdxplate guide is still thoroughly useful for folks wanting to head up there and not wanting to re-tread common ground. Incidentally, fans of Quinn's Pub up there in Seattle should make a bee-line for Spints Alehouse; more on that in another post.
#1 PDX Weekend Trip Report
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/664651
The flip side is that there are a lot of Seattle visitors as well, and while the details of the dinner at Beaker and Flask is here on pdxplate, the trip overview is posted on Chowhound. Such trip reports are especially useful for any visitor who might want to duplicate a successful itinerary.
