start with "Uchi is great for Austin, but can’t compare to [insert city or region here]). I have had sushi on multiple islands of Hawaii, as well as in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, up and down the...

in Kansas City and did an okay job in Pittsburgh (the highlight of that trip was the Strip District). Austin and Portland, OR are on the short list for the '08 trip. I’m going to LA in June to see my brother graduate from...

Is 20 minutes between courses top long to wait? Recently at 555 in Portland ME It was 2 ours from when we first sat down before we were served our entrees.We complained to our waiter who was apologetic, but not very helpful. He...

When I go to Zinc Bistro I always order their Steak Frite, I have been comparing similar dishes in Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and so far they win. Not sure about other offerings but if you like steak and perfect frites this is...

Out west is safe. I’ve lived in Seattle, SF, LA, and Portland and never encountered a square cut pizza in any of these places. Mid west is not. The square cut I’ve seen is in St. Louis. I was glad to read that the...

Don’t know where you are in Maine, but I have a friend in Portland, and there’s at least two Tim’s in that city.

That’s not saying much. Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I’ve grown up spoiled by the Burgerville icecream/fresh fruit shakes in Portland Oregon. Now THAT’s a fast food shake. Link:...

As another Oregonian (Portland) I’d agree that it’s much more difficult to eat locally this time of year. We got our final CSA delivery in early December, and I’m still working through the winter squash and...

fusion place after great experiences in Portland (Pho Van) and Paris (Tan Dinh). Ngon certainly isn’t in the same vein as the lovely “weekday fast cheap eats” on University Ave, like Pho Ca Dao, Trung Nam,...

Hugo’s in Portland ME is a good example. the first things served are biscuits that are the size of quarters- one per person. all of the other courses are similar.Sure, the food is tasty but really- how ridiculous is that???...

Chino – your fan club thanks you for your long-awaited report. When I was in college I would take the Shasta Daylight from Palo Alto to Portland, and it was a lovely way to travel. They had a dining car with uniformed...

I grew up and lived in Brooklyn for over 20 years. Spent 5 years in Chicago then moved back, this time to Queens, because my mom was sick, needed help, and lived there. (and moved to Portland, OR in Nov...) I had friends in...

of us, and we mostly sleep in and then eat turkey. We don’t have appetizers. When we lived in Portland, we used to go pick up Mike’s mom and we’d all go out to eat, to the steak & chop house or out to the...

Just sampled this today at the Portland Public Market. It’s very nice — soft & creamy, more reminiscent of Gorgonzola than Maytag, which tends to be crumblier. No match for Stilton (lacks the mellowness & complexity),...

We’re saying that this cuisine, at this price point, is unique to the Bay Area. I think I’ve read about places in Portland and outside Denver that do this style, and probably at this price point, since rents are lower...
