This is in a gas station parking lot but the burrito is a favorite with my chef friends

Banh kot!!!!

Portions are big but a gem in the burbs

I’ve always just loved the vibe here. It seems like it would be intimidating but it’s the best

Chef used to be ava genes head chef and then opened tusk. He and McFadden were at odds and now he’s here. Do a deep dive, Sam Smith is a badass

Get on this guy’s email list- he does a 20 person sushi dinner randomly and it sells out in minutes.

Great cocktail lounge

Favorite cocktail lounge

High end Mexican in what looks like a low end spot

I recognize that the owner is despised in Portland but the reality is this is the most professional restaurant in Portland (the severs are SO good at their jobs) and the food is always on point

The cheese. The charcuterie. The foccacia. Don’t leave without snagging the white bean dip

We love this chef. His original location Han Oak shut down unfortunately

The gyozas!

Locals favorite pizza spot

Best east coast grinder in town. He even partners with a baker to ensure the best possible bread for the job.

Last of the classic Portland dive bars. This is our watering hole.

Sexy date night spot- reverse steakhouse- meats as the sides veggies take spotlight. The cocktails are ⚡️ Recommend: avocado ahi tuna, ribolita soup (trust me) and the ensalata bomba
