Where I Go Out
Vegan Deluxe sandwich
$, American, Hosford Abernethy
"This is a great, light, hot sandwich that is so satisfying but doesn’t leave you weighed down. It's filled with grilled onions, wilted spinach, tomatoes and hummus and served on toasted pumpernickel bread that's served in a dark lounge with kitschy, retro decor."
Bryan's Bowl
$$, Tacos, Mexican, Hawthorne
"They use really great, fresh ingredients at this little Mexican spot. You can have it vegetarian or not, and the fresh tortillas are so comforting. Be prepared to wait in line if you go during prime dining hours, but it's so worth it."
Original ramen
$$, Japanese, Reservations, Full Bar, Sushi, Southeast Portland
"The broth is so flavorful, and the accoutrements they put into their Japanese noodle soup make for such a satisfying dish."
Salt & pepper squid
$$, Chinese, Asian, Roseway
"Salty, fried goodness with a little pop of pepper. They toss the fried squid with green and white onions and mound it high on a platter."
Baguette
$$, Bakery, Hosford Abernethy
"Tim Healea sets the standard for amazing artisan bread in Portland."
