Reader Survey 2012: Best Restaurant for an Illicit Affair!

by

"O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright" People think an "affair" is such a tawdry thing. Illicit kisses under darkened stairways, knowing looks over a spouse's shoulders followed by furtive rendezvous in cheap hotel rooms...

Reader Survey 2012: I’m Embarrassed To Admit I Eat Here!

by

Always a fun question though the answers tend to be the same year over year. That being said, a few people surprised me. Little Big Burger? Moonsoon Thai? Sunshine Tavern? However, there are a few of you who should be spanked. Subway, Ihop, Domino's Pizza, McMenamins, Panda Express(!), Old Spaghetti Factory, PF Changs. I mean, really! Without further adoo, 1.

Reader Survey 2012: Most Family Friendly Restaurant

Obviously … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2012: Most Family Friendly Restaurant

Reader Survey 2012: I Had to “Breakup” With This Restaurant

by

The second restaurant on the list has gone through a transition and now has a new chef, so I think folks may not have tried it since he took over. I haven't been recently, and if you have, I'd like your opinion. To me, the … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2012: I Had to “Breakup” With This Restaurant

Reader Survey 2017: Best Coffee Roaster in Portland

by

What is the best coffee roaster in Portland? This is all about the beans. I asked for Best Coffee Roaster in Portland in a separate question from best coffeehouse, because I wanted to concentrate strictly on the coffee, so this is a new question this year. It seems like everyone has decided that roasting coffee is easy, so we've been flooded with new offerings. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2017: Best Coffee Roaster in Portland

2011 Reader’s Survey: The Best Restaurants in Portland!

by

View the 2012 Reader Survey results here! Here are the results of the reader survey of the best restaurants in Portland. The total number of votes was a bit daunting, but I narrowed them down to a group which stood far above the rest. Within each of the three groups, the votes were very close. The tally dropped off dramatically at that point, so I'm limiting the results to … [Read more...] about 2011 Reader’s Survey: The Best Restaurants in Portland!
