  • 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…

  • 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).

From the buzzy restauranteur Micah Camden, who knows a thing…

  • Piccone’s Corner

    Have you heard of Piccone’s Corner, the new butcher shop and restaurant on NE Sandy & 34th? It had been on my list for awhile and I finally checked it out this weekend for a late lunch. I like this new trend of butcher shops/restaurants serving sandwiches (and other food). Both Pasture and Piccone’s Corner…

  • Lottie & Zula’s

    In today’s installment of “What Did Spencer Eat For Lunch?” I visited a neighborhood favorite, Lottie and Zula’s and got one of my fave sandos, their TBD smoked chicken salad grinder. There have been a number of good sandwich joints that have opened up in the inner NE hood in recent years: Lottie & Zula’s,…

  • Ex Novo Brewpub

    In today’s installment of “Where Did Spencer Eat Lunch Today?” the answer is Ex Novo Brewing Co. in NEPO. This is one of the few places I can walk to, and while their beer is not my favorite, I discovered they have this incredible sandwich there. In the past I don’t think I had ever…
