Hole in the wall: a place of solitary confinement; dungeon. (noun) This is the loose definition of a “hole in the wall”. Not exactly accurate, but it certainly captures the negative connotation behind the words “a hole in the wall restaurant”. Now, many people have said and will continue to say that there is no […]

Hello again, foodies and followers! Yes, it’s been a while since my last post, but I can explain. I went to LA for a week to visit a friend (and we had many foodie adventures) and now I’m in the process of moving. To say things have been a bit chaotic would be an understatement […]

This weekend I decided to give Pai Men Miyake a second chance for lunch. Considering the backlash over my review, it seemed like maybe I hadn’t given Pai Men a chance. So I went back, this time for lunch with my friend. Happy to report I left feeling full this time, and the pork buns […]

For whatever reason, it has taken me six months to try Little Tap House, which is conveniently down the street from my apartment. Well, it’s well worth the wait.

Considering the fact that I’m now a “New Englander” (kind of!) it’s been a goal of mine to try the sushi here in Portland. I wish I could give you guys a comprehensive sushi guide, but for some reason, sushi is quite ridiculous in price here compared to Chicago. Go figure… However, King of the […]

When I read the Portland Press Herald’s review of LFK, I was certainly intrigued. And when I checked in on Foursquare, the tips were almost all: try the mac and cheese and the burger. So I did both, though I have to tell you, LFK is like no other place in Portland. Located next to […]
