This was a breakfast recommendation that we received from a few Hawaii natives so we decide to check it out. If you are looking for a place that has local flavors and great service this is your spot. Be prepared to wait a bit and know that they are only open for breakfast and lunch […]
What is a malasada you ask? Well, it is a pillow of love sent down from the Hawaiian Gods. Actually, it is the Hawaiian version of a donut sans the hole in the middle. It is a chunk of dough fried and tossed with sugar, cinnamon and sugar or Li hing sugar (dried plum – […]
The Portland street food scene is amazing and everyone that is into food should check it out. One place that Kim and I missed on our first trip was the Portland Soup Company. We were lucky to find them open on the second trip and fully stocked with some amazing soups and sandwiches. On this […]
Jason and I started this whole Foodie blog thing because of Food Network Channel’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Triple D) TV show, yet we’ve hardly written about half of the Triple Ds we’ve eaten at. (Too much food, so little time!) But we couldn’t eat at Benny’s Seafood a second time without writing a few […]
While in Portland checking out some of the city’s many food trucks and carts, I noticed a particular cart that had a line clearly longer than everyone else. It was a very simple cart, no fancy paint job, but with a huge line so I was intrigued and had to check it out. They offer […]
Somewhere in the Twitterverse, I found out about a place called Vault Martini. It is a martini lounge that offers over 140 specialty martinis. Yes, that’s right 140. They also offer 44 takes on the classic martini. For someone that has spent the last 10 years trying to create new martinis from scratch, this place […]
I was a bit cynical to try yet another Korean-Mexican “fusion” place, due to the oversaturation of wannabes that have popped up and greatly disappointed me, but none of the other carts in this particular Portland pod were tempting my palette on this day. I ordered pan-fried vegetable potstickers and chicken Kogi tacos. Wow, was […]
When we took a second foodie trip to Portland, on the top of my “must-do” list was Teardrop Cocktail Lounge. Located in the Pearl District, it is a hip but dimly lit lounge with concrete walls and gray velvet curtains. The large bar is situated in the center of the room allowing many patrons to […]
I was first introduced to Justin Wines by a friend of mine. Every time she had a get together she would serve wines from Paso Robles, and so through her, I became quite a fan of Justin as well as other Paso wines. Jason and I kept telling ourselves that we needed to make a […]
Portland is known for a lot of things, it’s great foodie culture, amazing street food and if you look at Yelp or Urbanspoon, you are bound to see a place called Voodoo Doughnut. This is a crazy little bakery in downtown that always has a line of fans waiting to get their hands on some […]
