Review: Fat City Cafe in Multnomah Village

November 21, 2006 by Paul Gerald 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

October 27, 2006 by Paul Gerald 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.

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

Review: Mother’s Bistro

August 18, 2005 by PDX Food Dude 20 Comments

Mother’s – Subliminally Sublime?Sitting at Mother’s at 1:15 pm on a Thursday afternoon looking at all the dust on the fixtures above me, it seems the place needs a good cleaning. Though the restaurant is only about 20% full, I am surrounded by empty tables full of dirty dishes that haven’t been cleared. Several tables of patrons are looking around wondering where their food … [Read more...] about Review: Mother’s Bistro
