Okay! Last #LeighAndChristineGoToPortland post! FOOD!…and Drink of course.

Top: Por Qué No? - It was Taco Tuesday…which meant Happy Hour and pints of margaritas on special! Plus tacos…Camarones pictured above. Leigh said these were the best tacos she’s ever had.

Middle: The Kingdom Of Roosevelt - on the first night, after trivia and…happy hour… I noticed a place across the street from where we were staying and stuck my head it. they were opening the next night, so we promised to go by for a drink. Snazzy place! Hope it does well.
I had a glass of the: Johan Vineyards - Gruner Veltliner (Leigh and Eric had  a beer from The Commons brewery called Flemish Kiss)

Bottom: Blue Plate Diner - delicious homemade sodas: the “Karl Marx” and the “Purple Haze” , and the Grilled Cheese (made with Tillamook cheddar) and Tomato Soup.

Thanks Portland! We’ll be back soon!

Here are the two breakfasts from #LeighAndChristineGoToPortland 

Top: Pine State Biscuits - I had one with Jam and Leigh had “The Reggie” (no cheese). AMAZING biscuits.

Bottom: The Waffle Window! Leigh got the special (for Valentine’s Day) “The Heartthrob” Irish Cream Mousse, Fresh Berries, Truffle Bits and Whipped Cream. - I got the Pearl Sugar Waffle.

(Notice a trend? I don’t really eat lots for breakfast, unless it is brunch. THEN I’ll eat the big pile of waffles…)

#LeighAndChristineGoToPortland was a great success. We ate, we drank, and we ate and drank some more…and met some animals.

Case in point, these scary chickens. Seriously, look at the one of the left…

Also, the best meal of the trip came on the first stop, 15 mins after arriving. My ‘Khoa Soi’ a curry chicken noodle soup from Pok Pok, seen here with the delicious pFriem Wit beer.

More posts to come!!!
