Food round-up. Been to some of my favorite PDX restuarants of late. If you're visiting, here are a few recommendations:
For breakfast go to the Bijou Cafe on SW 3rd and order yourself up an oyster omelet. No, don't argue, just do it. Thank me later. For lunch, go to Kenny and Zuke's on 10th and Stark and order a reuben. Pastrami or corned beef--doesn't matter. If you're currently in danger of becoming a vegetarian, this will save you. If you'd like to do breakfast and lunch simultaneously (a thing we call blunch), you will go to Screen Door on NE Hawthorne. There you will order a breakfast corn-dog (with sorghum dip), fried chicken and waffle (they come impaled on a knife and stuck in the waffle), and a side of maple-pecan bacon. Yes, you may have a mimosa. And for dinner, get yourself to Toro Bravo on NE Russell. Just about anything on the tapas menu is worthwhile, but you will find the boquerones on toast, charcuterie plate (esp. the chicken liver pate), French kisses (prunes stuffed with foie gras), seared scallops, jamon and fava beans, North African sausages, and a glass of sherry just about perfect. Or you may just order the tasting menu. And a glass of sherry. Perfect.
