Eating My Way Thru OR - Day 5

Oregon - June 2017 Stumptown Coffee (3356 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214) - Cappuccino, honestly, wasn't worth the hype, in my opinion. It was pretty to look at though. I probably should have tried the cold brew. Korean Twist (Portland Airport Food Carts) - Spicy Pork Burrito, Asian+Mexico=Awesomeness! Chez Dodo  (Portland Airport Food Carts) - Shyamosa, Mauritius/Indian awesomeness (Samosa - fried pastry filled with spiced potatoes & mixed vegetables, served with mint-cilantro chutney & sweet chili sauce). Other snacks & gifts - Underwood Pinot Noir and Moonstruck Chocolate Keep Portland Weird! 

Eating My Way Thru OR - Day 4

Oregon  - June 2017 Marco Polo (Alder Street Food Carts) - Piadinas (thin flatbread sandwich, like an Italian Quesadilla), we got a Manzo Piadina with ground beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella, basil, and more. It was tasty but messy. Salt and Straw  (838 NW 23rd Ave, Portland OR 97210) - Sample as many ice creams as possible. We settled on Pear and Blue Cheese, Strawberry Honey Balsamic & Black Pepper, and Breakside Brewery’s Spent Grains & Bacon S'mores.

Oregon  - June 2017 Barista (1725 NE Alberta St, Portland OR 97211) - Honey Marzipan Latte was the spring special, made with almond essence, caramelized milk, high desert honey, salty butter, textured milk, and espresso; this is why Portland is known for a great cup of coffee! Original Joe's Deli (10200 NE Halsey St, Portland OR 97220) - Corn Dog, very large (1/4 lb), made with Pronto Pup Mix (flour mix). Also got a side of chili to dip it in.  Other snacks & gifts - Hazelnuts, raw, still shelled and by the pound from Growers Outlet.

Eating My Way Thru OR - Day 2

Oregon  - June 2017 Tillamook (34175 US-101, Tillamook OR 97141) - Sample all the cheese and ice cream! We got some Oregon Hazelnut and Salted Caramel scoops since we were in Oregon, duh! All the cheese and ice cream was delicious! Pelican Brewing (1371 S Hemlock St, Cannon Beach OR 97110) - Pound of Local Steamers, Northwest clams steamed with Kiwanda Cream Ale and fresh herbs, served with grilled spent-grain bread. Finger-licking-good! Ecola Seafoods  (208 N Spruce St, Cannon Beach OR 97110) - Captains Platter (fried Jumbo Ocean Scallops, Pacific Cod, Jumbo Prawns, Troll Caught Chinook Salmon, and fries) with side of fresh Dungeness Crab meat and coleslaw. Deep fried heaven! Voodoo Doughnut (22 SW 3 rd Ave, Portland OR 97204) - Had to get the Voodoo Doll (raised yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake and also the No Name (raised yeast doughnut topped with chocolate frosting, ric...
