I enjoy this commercially available salsa (in Oregon).

A sandwich from Binh Minh
After breakfasting at Pho An Sandy, I’d figure I shoot a mile south east to the mean streets of NE Broadway.
To see if the sandwiches slung from the NE location of Binh Minh Bakery & Deli were still legit.
BBQ pork. Quick brush of fresh aioli, deft schmear of pate, tangy radish and carrot pickles, herb (cilantro), crusty french bread, and a dose of Maggi to round out the package. And jalapeño peppers. Ones that are hot. In Oregon. For $2.75 you’d be insane to not eat two, if not three.
Too legit to quit.

La Bonita (NE)
It had been a while since I’d visited La Bonita, Northeast Alberta’s venerable stalwart taqueria. An outing to the Oregon Food Bank deemed a revisit necessary.
Since my last visit La Bonita had opened a second outpost located in close-in North Portland. Had the original suffered as a result?
One noticeable difference is a slight bit of price creep. However, this is a highly gentrified part of Portland. White people—especially in these parts—love themselves some ethnic authenticity. Who can blame the fine folks at La Bonita for trendspotting?
The tacos were better than ever. Generously garnished fresh proteins atop delicious, handmade tortillas that seemed to even best my previous visit.
Expertly crisped asada.
Tangy and piquant pastor.
One of the better fish tacos I’ve had in recent Portland memory. A light sprinkle of queso really served this taco well.
Full metal taco jacket. Table salsas are still legit, as are the tacos, as is La Bonita’s street cred.

This Uinta Anniversary Barleywine is fairly tasty.
I like to slag NE clam chowder, but this was a great rendition. Lake Grove Zupan's is killing it right now.
One of the better steaks I have had in recent memory. Perfectly rare. Hangar FTW
Beautiful hangar steaks from Zupan's. Practically giving them away at $6/lb (Lake Grove)

These salsas from Mi Mero Mole were delicious.
