Garden Monsters (Portland’s only Salad Food Cart)

Between showing up when they were closed or showing up after they had been vandalized I still had not tried Garden Monsters. I kept seeing pictures of these great salads and knew I at least needed to give them a shot. When you have men sending in reviews saying this salad kept them full all day, I knew I needed to see what this was all about.

Now I totally get it. The one salad I know that will keep you full all day is the [Read more…]

EatingMyWayThru North Portland

Why go to just one place when you can go to 4? Who said you can’t start with dessert first?

For our anniversary we decided to do our own EatOurWayThru North Portland. We started early in the afternoon, so we made a stop by Pip’s Original for Donuts. You know, a little dessert first…it never hurt anyone. Well except my kids, my kids can’t have dessert first. I love Pip’s because [Read more…]

Dear Firehouse,
I am so sorry it took me 5 years to get back to you.
Sincerely,
EatingMyWayThruPortland

This place is so stellar I can’t even believe we waited so long to go back. Do yourself a favor, book a reservation now, get in there and enjoy this place. You really don’t need to read any more of my review because I am just going to go off on how fantastic it was. But in the end I am going to share a secret, so maybe you should [Read more…]

Laurelhurst Market

Laurelhurst Market

Laurelhurst Market is supposed to be THE good steakhouse in Portland. I have checked out the menu a few times, and love that it’s always changing with the seasons as far as their sides go.

When you say “Steakhouse”, everyone’s first thought is [Read more…]

St. Jack

I had a reader tell me I needed to go here. I’m glad she said something, because this place was not on my radar, I hadn’t even heard of it. I mean seriously, with so many places in Portland, how do you keep track of what’s out there? That’s why I love readers and suggestions.

Anyways, St. Jack. Cute little place on a corner. We stepped inside just briefly [Read more…]

The Best of Hood River

We just spent a weekend in Hood River. If you are a foodie and love the outdoors then you will love this little town. We have stayed here often and we have driven through and stopped just as many times. We love Hood River.

We’ve been here enough that we have favorites, but this time we decided to try and hit up the rest of the places that we had not been to you. So sit back as I give you a quick run down of what Hood River has to offer for the foodies.

Serratto

Serratto

It’s been a few years since I have been to this place and it was just the way I remember it. Elegant, classy, rustic and most of all, comfortable. The food is predictable and by that I mean it’s always good, always great quality and always has a wow factor featuring what’s in season. You know when you sit down to eat a meal there that you will not be let down. [Read more…]

Morton’s Steakhouse Happy Hour

Portland, OR 97201

Morton’s Steakhouse

We decided to go to Morton’s because we had heard about their Happy Hour menu. Most notably the Filet sliders. I am not a huge fan of steakhouses, because like I have said before, I cook a dang good steak, so I need to be wowed with special sauces, sides or Gorgonzola butter or something spectacular. Don’t just hand me a steak, I want the whole package, presentation and all.

Anyways, Morton’s Happy Hour….. [Read more…]

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

850 SW Broadway
Portland, OR 97205
Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Three things you need to know about me, if you don’t already.

I am frugal
I don’t like chain restaurants
I make a killer steak, so I rarely order steak at restaurants

Nonetheless we were given a gift certificate to Ruth Chris Steakhouse, so we had to pay a visit. Now, we had been almost 4-5 years ago, but not since. Why you ask? Well, it’s over the top expensive.

When it’s on someone else’s dime it’s always bound to taste a whole better, right? Plus when it’s not your money you can order to your heart’s content. [Read more…]

Rip City Grill

Open 10-2 Monday thru Friday
Rip City Grill

A few months back there was a Groupon offered for a ton of different food carts around town and I grabbed 2 of them. Today I cashed in on one of them at Rip City Grill.

The pictures of the steak sandwiches are what sold me, because I knew my husband would love them. The pictures do not lie. [Read more…]
