Some wag recentl...Portland's awesome that way.<br /><br />Some wag recently said that Portland is the kind of town where the gourmet comes looking to eat at the restaurants and winds up eating out of the carts.<br /><br />And the neat thing is, the carts are run by families, by inspired hipsters (I'm a PDXer who isn't hating on hipsters, BTW, not all of us hate them), by people with frigg'n interesting culinary visions who won't let much stand in their way. And anyone can go. You don't have to dress up. And if you're lucky, maybe Whiffies is having a pie-eat-off or has one of those bouncy-ball playpens for adults. And maybe a Hollywood type who happens to be in town will swan on by.<br /><br />I try not to be too smug about being a Portlander (yeah, right, boo!) but can't help it here; it's luxury you can afford (and if you're lucky enough that Yarp is open, its affordable, and Pirate Dogs will charge you on a sliding scale …)<br /><br />Ahhhhhghghgh …Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-63059475700850230292009-10-11T10:20:23.733-07:002009-10-11T10:20:23.733-07:00!!!

You know how you drink a drink and you feel it in your mouth and you just KNOW? It was like that.<br /><br />Horchata and flan are world famous.
