June 9, 2017 by PDX Food Dude 1 Comment

Slappy Cakes Portland

I always get a mix of comments when I ask "Where is the best place to dine with children in Portland?" One group is firmly in the “no one should ever bring kids to a restaurant”, and others say “I can bring my kids anywhere I want!” Restaurants realize that with children come parents, and the adults are going to spend money on alcohol and give their kids memories that make … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2017: Best Place to Dine with Children in Portland

There are big brown, black and green blobs on sidewalks, on top of cars, and backyards are slippery mine fields. It won’t last long though, because we are nearing the end of the … [Read more...] about Local Figs: A Love Letter to a Short Sweet Season

Reo's Ribs Portland Closed Sign

The neighbors off of SW Macadam can breathe better without all the wood smoke from the smokers at Reo's Ribs. There were complaints when he first opened. In fact his smoke caused visibility problems with traffic a couple of times until he put in a really tall smokestack. Now all of this is moot, as the restaurant is closed. A sign on the door mentions a new location, but … [Read more...] about Reo’s Closes, Penny Diner Set to Open, Lucier Space Leased?

Toro Bravo logo

Maybe it is because taste, music, and memory are so closely intertwined, but every time I hear flamenco, I flash back to a time 25 years ago. I was living in Healdsburg in the Sonoma Valley, where I … [Read more...] about Review: Toro Bravo Restaurant
