Feed Me Portland!

We loved working on this blog, but Portland’s shitty economy forced us to leave the city. We were sad to leave — and miss so many of our favorite restaurants –  but we now live somewhere where rain doesn’t seem to exist! (We don’t miss the rain!) Cheers and goodbye, The Lunch Lady

Not only are we looking for a “real” job, but a series of electronic equipment catastrophes have whittled our budget and exhausted some of our Stumptown spirit. Fir

Tonight, the James Beard Foundation Awards were announced in New York. Sadly, no Portland, Oregon, winners on the list this year, but it’s still an excell

The Salmon Creek (Vancouver) location of Burgerville will begin serving local beers and wines on Friday, May 1. In a move that is the first of its kind in the Northwest, the high-end fast food chain will offer specially chosen wines and beers to compliment their gourmet seasonal offering menu.
