Screen Door

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Ok, just had to get that out, that's how excited I am about this place. A group of us went out last night for Rachael's birthday. Adam and I arrived tired, and not very hungry. After browsing the menu, we saw the perfect thing! The Screen Door plate. It's your choice of any 3 sides, or plates off the "local/organics" menu (a smaller, rotating daily menu of exactly that..local/organic dishes) for $13.95. We got mashed potatoes, quinoa salad, and fried catfish. It came with a piece of corn bread too, which I liked more than Adam did. It's definitely a steal if you do it right. The friend Catfish was on the sides menu, and alone was $8.95. The potatoes were heavenly, and the catfish divine. I tasted a bit of everyone's food including mac and cheese, braised greens and fried okra. Everything was DELICIOUS. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Cup & Saucer

I went here with Ben when I first got to Portland, and didn't realize until a few weekends ago that they have a couple locations and one is right by my house! We were seated right away, and with 9 people, it was kind of impressive for a Sunday morning. Fresh apple-raspberry juice, yummmm. I got the breakfast sandwich (can you tell what I like to eat?) which came with potatoes, and was delicious. That was Derek's Huevos Rancheros. It's good, close, and pretty reasonably priced. There is also a huge Paul Bunyan across the street.
