PDXcess Meets again

After a long trip Cooking in Manteca…

Our group of excessive eaters and drinkers meets again in Portland.  The adventure starts with a meeting of pink tequila, manhattans, and a beautiful confit leg of duck on the Nel Centro Patio 

Before dinner, we stop off at a place we like to go occasionally… or maybe like every day.  Teardrop Lounge serves me up a 23 Skidoo.  The first of MANY, “see!”

Dinner must be eaten.  After a short walk through the darker streets of Portland, we arrive at Olympic Provisions.  

We filled out mouth holes with some Boquerones with Pickeled Eggs Green Bean Salad with Warm Goat Cheese, Hazelnuts, and Cherries Creamy polenta that had blistered tomatoes, a fried egg, and a crap-ton of grated parmesan… not to mention a parmesan broth!  This Chorizo sausage with clams was also dipped in our wonderful polenta.  The cooks hooked us up with a nice slice of Fourme d’ Ambert to end the meal. 

The next day, we contemplated the idea of a colonic. 

Time for drinks!  We begin at North 45 for some manhattans! 

And off to dindin at PokPok. 

 But before we can sit at PokPok, we must sit at Whiskey Soda Lounge.  2 Orders of wings please…

We get sat quickly at PokPok, 2 Orders of wings please…

Then munch the rest of our spread and feed the food babies.

Teardrop, “23 skidoo please… and make it snappy, see”.  My face hurts from laughing

Another day to eat Portland…  We embark on our next adventure with some nummers mussels with pancetta at North 45  Then Teardrop for more skidoo’s and charcuterie and foie. 

Unfortunately, the food gods were not on our side that evening and we ended up with a disappointing food experience.  Gallons of pineapple juice and evil island statues left tummys hurting for days.  Anyway, lets go back to the teardrop and see if they have any cool drinks.

I must leave before my internal organs stop working with me.  But before I do, patio dining seems mandatory. 

I miss Portland
