One of the things that I love most about Portland is the places that make it what it is. Sure, there’s no doubt that the hot restaurants that everyone wants to get into are fun, but you can’t go there every time you need a quick breakfast or lunch bite. And that’s where a place […]

The title of this blog post alone should say it all, but you probably know someone that quite literally, has it all. They have fine wine, every cookbook ever published, jams from Stonewall Kitchen and don’t seem to need anything. So, here’s an interesting gift idea: cheese. 

If you love Portland, then you know that Harding Lee Smith’s The Rooms are an integral part of the food scene here. It’s undoubtedly impressive that they are all so incredibly successful, yet they are all completely different. With only an open kitchen concept and names to link them, each Room is completely unique. Take […]

If you pay any attention to this blog, or you know me personally, you have to know that one of my favorite phrases is that dessert is the best meal of the day. And there’s really no better bakery that fulfills this to me than Foley’s Cakes in Monument Square. I can always get my […]

Lunch in Portland can sometimes be a pretty pricey affair. And sometimes, you either don’t have a lot of money or a lot of time. Enter these restaurants, where you get the most bang for your buck and leave feeling full and satisfied! Slab: Takeout means you can get a pound of pizza for about […]

Dessert is the best meal of the day to me, and The Bar of Chocolate in the Old Port deserves some recognition. As a chocoholic, I’ve never found a place that quenches my endless thirst for chocolate and dessert quite like they do. From alcoholic beverages to the perfect dessert to end your night, The […]

So, many Portlanders may not know, but Empire has went back to its original roots: a Chinese restaurant. It was the first Chinese restaurant to ever open in Portland back in 1916. However, it’s been known as the Empire Dine and Dance for a while now, serving as a venue for music and performances. And […]

I am so full beyond belief with Barbecue as I write this. I went to Salvage for dinner Thursday night, and I am highly impressed. I’ve always been a Barbecue fan, and pulled pork is my favorite. It was disappointing when I found out that Barbecue isn’t a top priority in Portland, but not anymore! […]
