portobello pdx. it’s just good food.

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , , , , on July 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Having taken two sets of visiting omnis there now, I can confidently say Portobello, while totally vegan, is just good Italian food period. The chef (2010 Vegan Iron Chef competitor Aaron Adams), pastry chef, and bartender all have my deepest thanks (and a lot of my money now) for providing amazing food in a gorgeous location that I [...]

portland vegan 100

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , on July 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I did not do this last year—if I had, my highlighting would have been very limited—it’s the Portland Vegan 100, compiled by Jess for the Try Vegan PDX Guidebook (new edition coming soon). Some are gimmicky, some are plain’ ol Portland standards, and some are must-haves for anyone stepping foot in this great land of ours. [...]

  It took a visitor from Europe to point out how insanely close I live to Canada. Less than a six-hour drive gets me to Vancouver, the city you may have heard of if you’ve seen any of those Best Places to Live or Most Beautiful, Wonderful, Whateverful Cities on the Planet lists. And everything you’ve heard [...]

homegrown smoker…and a german spaniard comes to portland

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged , , on June 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Where have I been? Well, preparing for Vegan Iron Chef, attending Vegan Iron Chef, then recovering from Vegan Iron Chef. But I’m back in action, baby. Not with a Vegan Iron Chef recap—I want to wait until the video is available and I can get some decent photos ready for you—but this post does feature [...]

updated update: vegan iron chef–now with updates

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged on May 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »

  Pretty bad-ass, right? Those are but two of the three competing chefs for our just-around-the-corner Vegan Iron Chef. The third chef should have been photographed this weekend, so I imagine we’ll see the poster in the next day or so—I’ll put it up as soon as I get it (from our very, very busy [...]

road trip: san francisco, part 2

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged , , , , , on March 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Like many whirlwind affairs, it began with coffee. A simple house coffee served in a shapely glass mug. Maybe it was the lighting, but I was a goner from the start. Herbivore was to be mine, at least for the weekend. Herbivore popped up every which way I was searching for vegan food in San [...]

road trip: san francisco, part 1

Yup, two parts, kids. Because we ate so much friggin’ fantastic food I don’t want to bog you down all at once. The kicker? Tomorrow’s post will be all Herbivore—I ate four meals there in two days—so today I bring you everything else. We stayed in Little Osaka, or Japan Town, depending on who you [...]

taqueria los gorditos vegan menu

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , , , on February 7, 2010 | 5 Comments »

More good news for Portland (sorry, rest of the world): If you haven’t yet heard, Taqueria Los Gorditos has graduated from their truck parked outside of Citybikes and now have a real, live sit-down establishment at SE 12th & Division. There’s a catch: It’s not just vegan, but they do have a separate grill for [...]

thanks, seattle

Oh, but they do taste better fresh. Last weekend we drove up to Seattle to see some old friends. And, of course, my list of stuff to do included pretty much just a bunch of places to eat, including Mighty-O Donuts. Guilt over the fact that one of our party was gluten-free couldn’t keep me [...]

chicago 2009: fall edition

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged on November 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Well, another surprise trip to Chicago means more food and photos. I forgot to take a photo before getting to the very dark club, so please forgive the flash. Yes, it’s what it looks like. I made these mini cupcakes for the benefit show put on for my cancer-boy friend, Jim. I ended up making [...]
