Thatch Tiki Mug Release Party 7/1!

by Betsy Richter

It’s the perfect weather for tiki drinks, isn’t it?
I wouldn’t have said that a year or so ago (I’ve developed a taste for drinks I’ve considered a bit more ‘grown up’ - bourbon, whiskey and the like.) But thanks to two other OurPDX authors, I have grown to appreciate all things tiki late in [...]

Beef in the Blood

by morganpdx

I’m not a foodie. My palate has all the refinement as that of a rhino. Or perhaps a giraffe. Like the one that thought my brother, about 4 at the time, would be a tasty treat.
But that doesn’t mean food isn’t an important part of my life. And as a transplanted [...]

From Our Mailbox: Pedalpalooza Pie Champ Challenge 6/23

by Betsy Richter

My friend (and Whiffies owner) Gregg passed this along to me in hopes I could help get the word out, since it’s another example of gluttony for a good cause.
Seems that one of the organizers behind Pedalpalooza is rallying a horde of bike-riders (many of them vegan) to be the next contenders to [...]

A Chat with Burgerville

by Aaron

Over the past few months there have been a couple articles here on OurPDX featuring Burgerville, a local business that does things a bit differently than most of their fast food competitors. Jeremy wrote a piece in April talking about Burgerville’s local, sustainable practices, and last month I wrote a recap of a tweetup [...]

The Mad Dash

by A. L. Venable

It’s after 10PM and I’m heading home from dance class. I’m hungry, but don’t really feel like stopping at a restaurant for dinner. Fast food…pass.
After doing a mental scan of what’s in my fridge – next to nothing – I decided to make a stop at my neighborhood supermarket, the Safeway on NE MLK [...]

Tonight: Time To Eat Pie for Free Geek

by Betsy Richter

I know, I know — OurPDX is turning into an all-pie all the time site lately. But it’s all for a good cause, remember?
We have four hungry competitors lining up to see who can eat the most Whiffies pies in an hour (see backstory here.) And they’ve agreed to eat for a [...]

Memoir of a Pie Virgin

by Metroknow

There are few times in life when you get to document the moment of your own demise, and then live to tell about it.
Last night, I decided I’d had enough of sitting in my cluttered and increasingly farby home office. It was time to walk the line; time to cross the trestle bridge by moonlight; [...]

Who will take this weekend’s pie eating contest at 9 pm this Saturday night? Will it be our own Aaron Hockley? (@ahockley on Twitter) Chris Snethen - better known as either @ChrisTom or Butterbean (better known as just Bean these days)? Or will it be one of these untested challengers: [...]

VendrTV in town shooting Food Carts

by Dieselboi

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would know that Portland’s food cart scene is going gangbusters.  We have “pods” of carts now in 4 distinct locations around the city with anywhere from 5 carts up to 20 carts per pod.  And these aren’t all just hot dog vendors. We’re talking Thai, Egyptian, New [...]
