Portland, OR Food Adventure
Posted: July 30, 2011 Filed under: Food, Photos, Travel 1 Comment »Just got back from Portland, OR, the ultimate foodie town. And bike town. And berry town! It’s about the middle/near the end of berry season.
Shirley making a delicious blackberry, blueberry and raspberry pie from scratch.
The photos started off well at Tasty n Sons, a new restaurant by John Gorham. We went to Toro Bravo the night before, but I was so in awe of the food I forgot about my camera.
The food was quickly demolished.
This was some chicken-fried duck in the front. On the left, a pork chop and egg over spaetzle. In the back, fingerling potatoes and lardons with sour cream.
We made the trek out to Cheese Bar, which was well worth the long and confusing bus ride. Don’t trust #14 bus drivers.
A cheese plate, beer and wooly pig ham, a very fatty thin-sliced ham.
I’ve heard about wooly pigs and what good fatty meat they provide! If I remember properly they’re called Mangalitsas, and they’re quite funny and friendly looking. Worth looking up!
