Where I Go Out

Khao man gai

$$, Thai, Southwest Portland

"This is a food cart that serves tender poached chicken, aromatic steamed rice, unforgettable ginger sauce, cilantro leaves, cucumber slices and a light broth with Asian melon. A $6 lunch doesn't get any better than this."

The Flight of Drinking Chocolate

Cacao Drink Chocolate

$, Desserts, Café, Coffee Shop, Candy Store, Southwest Portland

"Three tiny shots of chocolate heaven—they are better than a cup of coffee any day! Compare and contrast the flavor nuances of the world’s best chocolates with a flight of decadent drinking chocolates."

Braised celery kaltbits

Ned Ludd

$$, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Modern, Full Bar, New American, King

"The celery shines (as do any of the vegetables) at this little gem in NE Portland. It is braised in a flavorful stock until it’s tender, bringing out the sweetness of this often overlooked vegetable. It's deliciously simple."

$$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Reservations, Full Bar, Italian, Northwest

"Chef Jerry Huisinga is a former chef of Genoa, and he’s brought his authentic Italian fare to this charming Italian-focused wine bar. His classic lasagna with meaty Bolognese sauce and tender, fresh pasta is the best comfort food on a rainy night before a wet bike ride home!"

Chen's Good Taste Restaurant

$, Chinese, Downtown

"Skip the noodles and add barbecue pork and ginger scallion sauce—it rocks!"
