    Review: Cricket Cafe

    By Paul Gerald Last Update January 25, 2014 12 Comments

    I used to have this friend Bob, from back east. St. Louis, specifically, but in Oregon that's "back east." Bob was a Deadhead and a pot head, not generally a guy anyone called "uptight," but Bob used to go berserk at the slow pace of the service industry in Oregon. We once got tossed out of the Montage because he couldn't get anybody's attention and finally yelled, "Hey (harsh … [Read more...] about Review: Cricket Cafe

    Review: Fat City Cafe in Multnomah Village

    By Paul Gerald Last Update May 8, 2017 13 Comments

    Here's how you do a Breakfast with the Fellas. You meet too damn early on a weekday, 'cause fellas have to work. You can't meet on a weekend, because fellas have to sleep, or they have to get up and do stuff that isn't a breakfast with the fellas.You show up on time so you can give a load of crap to the guy who shows up late (generally the single one), with lines like "Oh, … [Read more...] about Review: Fat City Cafe in Multnomah Village

    Review: Paradox Cafe

    By Paul Gerald Last Update January 25, 2014 10 Comments

    I might be a pig. I might be a backwards-thinking Tennessee hillbilly. I might be a thick-headed carnivorous pre-human. I might also be committing slow suicide with my diet. And yet I have traveled the world, seen several dozen Dead shows, smoked more than my share of grass, lean way left politically, and think of myself as sensitive and open-minded. Can I be both of these … [Read more...] about Review: Paradox Cafe

    Review: Café du Berry

    By Paul Gerald Last Update May 20, 2016 34 Comments

    So I'm writing a breakfast book, and this raises a lot of questions in my head: What's the purpose of the book (other than having fun and making money)? What do I do about places I don't like? What is it that people like in a place, anyway? What should I report on? Is the food everything? What if the food stinks but the place is cool, or the staff is nice? What if it's the … [Read more...] about Review: Café du Berry

    Review: Alameda Cafe

    By Paul Gerald Last Update May 20, 2016 17 Comments

    I’m going to start here with a confession: My first impression of the Alameda Cafe, before I even sat down, was that it was full of itself.That's pure stereotyping, I admit it. When I see white tablecloths, paintings of flowers on the walls, actual flowers on the tables, the staff wearing black, and bottles of wine in a display on the counter, I think "Great, welcome to … [Read more...] about Review: Alameda Cafe
