Poutine! Truffley poutine.

One day I was at the Yard House in Costa Mesa and noticed they had truffle fries. I am a sucker for truffle fries! A place called little big burger had truffle fries so I have been in love ever since.
Anyways, I have had a thing for poutine ever since my vacation in Montreal, and create it every restaurant that I can. So truffle fry poutine came to my mind.
Poutine is basically fries, with cheese( authentically cheese curds), and gravy.
The Yard House has a bourbon gravy that is amaaaazing!
So my poutine was truffle fries, with cheddar and bourbon gravy. Probably the best poutine I have ever had.It was also happy hour so I got a bbq chicken pizza for like 6 bucks.
And of course some beer. But I have become quite the snob. I am not too impressed by the yardhouse selection because anything that might be unique has probably been sitting there a while. Thats the problem with 180-252 faucets of beer.
I don't mind goat hill tavern across the street though. It's quite a dump.


On a side note, this is my favorite yard house. My dad installed the beer system and I remember coming to the job site with him as a kid.

Fried Egg Burger

Try a fried over easy egg on your cheeseburger next time. Changed my life
Pan cook your ketchup too. Nice texture.
Oak aged yeti goes well with it as well.

Little Big Burger

Finally! I got my computer from Jeff. Took me 6 months. These photos have been waiting six months to be put up .

Little big burger beats In-n-out hands down. Mmm truffle fries and blue cheese burgers. $2 old german beers too. Very cheap beer menu actually

Bunk Sandwich

I'm in loooooooooooooooooooove with Bunk. I discovered it at work. There are two bunks in town. One is Bunk on Morrison and the other is off of Water Ave. called Bunk Bar. I deliver beer to Bunk Bar and for a month was like I'm gonna have to try this. One day I had some time to kill at work and gave bunk a shot. MMMMMMMMMMM

Changed my life it did. I tried the Pork Belly Cubano. It is a pork sandwich with pickles , pork belly, cheese, crap i dunno what else but it is the best food I have had in Portland so far. The sandwich is 8 bucks . The tuna melt is also good. The cuban reminds me of a sandwich I had at a Cuban food place in the Orange circle in So Cal. The Pork Belly Banh Mi is also worth a try if you ever decide to go.

Bunk: 621 SE Morrison Mon- Sat 8am-3pm
Bunk Bar: 1028 SE Water Ave. E'ry day 3pm-2am

An attempt at Mexican

Some crappy Mexican food in Pioneer Square mall. Was better than Taco Bell at least. But they need more than beef and chicken as a burrito option...

game hen?

So I made this thing like a month ago but completely forgot the recipe. You just get some pictures. The recipe was for duck breast but the whole duck at the grocery store was frozen and 18 bucks. The game hen was frozen and three. Hmmm which thaws faster? I was starving.


Whole game hen ripped apart by my bare hands of course.
Those little cocktail onions
Some vinooo
Bacon. Lots of bacon
Mushrooms whole not sliced
Garlic! I used a whole elephant garlic.
A little flour to thicken the wine sauce.
And I fryed the game hen with vegetable oil I believe

Slackerrrr

Lately all I have been cooking is the same things over and over and over. Usually chorizo tacos with habanero and teriyaki burgers. I don't stray from it now do I. I need to start eating at restaurants and reviewing them! Slackerrrrrrrrr!

I suppose I could show you where I had thanksgiving!

Living in Portland can be a bit lonely at times due to the fact that I barely know anyone! I had the biggest circle of friends on earth in Orange County. I could do anything with anyone anytime. Up here is a little more challenging. So Thanksgiving was going to be especially difficult for me considering I worked the day after (lame!) so driving to my nearest relatives in San Francisco(10 hrs.) was out of the question. I heard a bar was serving food and I tend to o to this bar on Thursdays anyway due to the dollar beer night. Buuuut.

I am thankful for having Les in my life. He is my coworker and he always looks out for me. He invited me to a private thanksgiving dinner at Nepo 42, a bar in North Portland. It had everything a thanksgiving had and I even saw a couple coworkers who also had no family around Portland. It definitely made my first turkey day away from family a little easier to manage.

Line for foood

My plate of heaping goodness.

This man is now family! He calls me son, I call him pops haha
Notice the draft selection? How many have you heard of?

My favorite blogger has a food giveaway! She also has an amaaazing blog and you should read it. Sometimes it gets me off my lazy ass in search of something to cook. She's far more creative in her cooking, and it's far healthier.
