Alrighty. I still have a little motivation left over and I did promise some local content, so let’s keep the ball rolling. Today we’ll be talking about a place that I actually visited two months ago (where does the time go) but because I’m a lazy bastard I’m kind of the last person in town […]

On the Road Again: Kukai Ramen & Izakaya (Beaverton/Portland, OR)
onEDIT: This is now Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya. Apparently Kukai sounds too close to Hawaiian slang for poop or something. You learn something new every day…Okay, okay, I know. Once again I’ve gone months without an update, and once again it’s not due to lack of trying new places so that means I’ve got a […]
The Habit Burger Grill – Grand Opening today!
onI’m literally months behind on my reviews at this point, but I’m going to leap ahead and talk about something timely and topical (not to mention relevant to most of you, at least the ones who think I spend too much time talking about restaurants at the Oregon Coast). If you follow the goings on […]
Daylight Donuts
onA while back Daylight Donuts, apparently part of a massive chain (seriously, they have almost 1,000 locations spread over 28 states and several other countries) I had somehow never heard of, quietly opened a location on Fairview in Boise. Seriously, they have almost as many stores as Krispy Kreme does. I didn’t know all of […]
Flying Pie (finally)
onI’ve never really written about Flying Pie, but I’ve been there. Dozens and dozens of times. I was born in Boise 39 years ago, and have lived in the area for most of my life, so it’s unthinkable that I would somehow have missed out on what’s widely regarded as the best pizza in town. […]
Luciano’s
onTwo and a half years. That’s how long it took me to make it to Luciano’s. Why? Because nobody wanted to freaking go with me. Every time I’d mention it to someone when trying to make dinner plans, it was invariably rejected because either the prices were higher than everyone else wanted to pay, or […]
Jakers Bar and Grill
onRecently we celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday. Mama wanted steak, and I decided she was gonna get it. The question: where? The last time I tried to take her out for a steak, the place literally served her a slab of raw meat. She isn’t fond of “stuffy” places, plus we had kids with us, […]
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
onI spent the first couple of years of the new millennium living in Upstate New York. Unfortunately, I was a much different person then, especially in regards to food. I was surrounded by options I’d never had before, and as a rule I ignored them while my then-girlfriend and I made the rounds of various […]
26 Hours in Portland: Wong’s King
onAfter we checked out of the hotel the following morning, it was time to once again feed my constant dim sum craving. After good but still somewhat lacking experiences in Seattle earlier this year and at a different place in Portland last year, I finally returned to my first love. The actual name of the joint is Wong’s King […]
