Stacked Sandwich Shop
Stacked Sandwich Shop is back. After closing 1.5 years ago they have reopened in a new location, taking over the Sunshine Noodle spot (gone too soon…). On the menu are 8 regular sandwiches and a rotating/seasonal option, along with a few sides: fries, chips, salad, potato salad. They are well-known for their oxtail french dip.…

Astoria Brewpubs
I spent the previous weekend in Astoria, OR. One of my favorite places in Oregon to visit. It’s got everything, super scenic river and ocean views, great access to nature, and the best breweries and brewpubs in Oregon, especially per capita! Especially since Breakside opened an outpost recently. There is Breakside, Buoy and Fort George…

Flying Fish
This weekend I checked out Flying Fish. This is a combination restaurant, oyster bar and fresh fish marketplace. They specialize in fresh fish and oysters, and have a nice little menu plus a nice patio to sit and enjoy your food. With a good selection of beer and wine and cocktails, this is a great…

Tito’s Taquitos
I went to the grand opening of Tito’s Taquitos this weekend. This is their first brick and mortar restaurant after starting a popular and successful food cart a few years ago. I had heard good things but hadn’t visited the cart yet. Thankfully the restaurant is much closer to where I live. They had me…

Mole Mole
Holy Mole, I have found my new favorite Mexican food in town. Between Mole Mole and Ki’ikibaa, Portland is entering into a new era of super delicious, authentic Mexican food. You can find my review of Ki’ikibaa on this page as the first review. Mole Mole is a food cart on Alberta and 23rd that…

Their namesake (XLB) is an acronym for Xiao Long Bao, which are soup dumplings. Those are smaller and come…

Assembly Brewing
This weekend I stopped by Assembly Brewing to try their Detroit style pizza and beer. It has been on my list for awhile, but FoPo is so far away and I rarely get down there, and when I do I usually head straight to Portland Mercado. There are some great eats down in that part…

Eem
On Friday I got the keys to my new place and decided to celebrate by having lunch at my favorite restaurant in town, Eem. I don’t say favorite lightly. I have many faves, but the hands down single favorite is Eem. Everything they do there is so unbelievably delicious and perfect. I have never had…

Botto’s BBQ
Whoa, Nelly! There is a new(ish) BBQ joint in town. In today’s installment of “What Did Spencer Eat For Lunch?” I visited Botto’s BBQ in SE PDX (3120 SE Milwaukie Ave). I was across the street buying a new piano (very excited!) and I saw a packed little BBQ joint. Apparently Botto’s had been a…

Nong’s Khao Man Gai
Over the weekend I stopped by Nong’s Khao Man Gai for lunch. This place used to be on my regular rotation, I’d stop by once or twice a month. Somehow it fell off the rotation and slipped through the cracks, and I realized it had been years since I had eaten that perfect meal. Time…
