Where I Go Out
Fried chicken and waffle
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Breakfast, Southern / Soul, Cajun / Creole, Kerns
"It's one of the only things in Portland that I will wait an hour and a half for outside in the rain at 10 a.m. on a Sunday—which is what you'll be doing, too. This is the largest portion of fried chicken for one person you'll ever see piled on top of waffles and drizzled with maple syrup. You feel absolutely terrible if you eat the whole thing, but it's so worth it!"
Tasting menu
$$$$, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Modern, Full Bar, New American,
"Good to be back home at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. This is only 9 of the 22 courses, but it's the Most inspirational food I've had in some time"
Escargot à la Bordelaise w/ bone marrow
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, American, New American, Northwest
"This dish brings me back to home in New York. It reminds me of the roasted bone marrow and snails at Blue Ribbon, where I would go eat at 2 a.m. after cooking all night on the Upper West Side. Vitaly Paley's version is a Portland classic."
Tortiglione & vodka sauce
$$$$, American, Italian, Hawthorne
"Plum tomatoes, vodka, cream, chili flake & sweet Italian sausage with toriglione pasta; this dish is the closest I've found to my mom's pasta in Portland. The sausage reminds me of the ones I used to get on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx."
