I’ve heard whispers about Southern Barbarian since arriving in Shanghai, rumors about a stocked beer fridge hiding delicious favorites like Brother Thelonious and my now missed Rogue brews, innuendo about deep fried honey bees and Yunnan Goat Cheese. There have been more than one botched attempt to dine there.

Shanghai Phomission #1: Aniseed
A few weeks ago a brilliant plan was launched on twitter to search Shanghai high and low for the best Pho available. While it may seem silly for a guy like me, so fresh to the city, to search for a non-native food, but I was simply following around friends on an adventure. [...]
Lincoln Restaurant gets lucky
Lincoln Restaurant
3808 N Williams No. 127
Portland Oregon, 97227

Tuesday Saturday, 5:30 – Close
Barney Gumble: 40 dollars!? This better be the best damn beer ever.. [drinks beer] You got lucky.
I could leave it here, my opinion of Lincoln, a newish restaurant on N Williams. The food is straight forward–almost to a fault–and excellently prepared from fantastic ingredients. [...]
Ken’s Artisan Pizza — making lots of dough

Ken Forkish likes dough, and Ken’s Artisan Pizza makes a lot of dough in every sense of the phrase. I checked it out on a Thursday night in January, again weeks later for my last two handed meal before the unpleasantness. I returned after a [...]

Cava: Comfortably Cradled in Cleavage
My Timbers Army buddy Joe Joe, he of tiny stature and big heart, worked at Cava for years, until very recently, and was always trying to get me in there. I resisted for a long time, for the Foster Powell Triangle is not my favorite place to hang in SE, though not as bad [...]
Screen Door: tranny biscuits and man-crushes
Screen Door Restaurant
2337 E Burnside St
Portland, OR 97214

I’d been to the Screen Door once or twice over the years (they opened in 2006, I believe), but the brunch had eluded me, as I’ve been eating at Genies way too much, and I tend to stick to what I know when it comes to breakfast. [...]
Hopworks Urban Brewery
I can’t remember an instance where there was this much buzz surrounding the grand opening of a pub. Christian Ettinger, the brewmaster and owner, was pressing palms and showing off some contract-brew last July, promising HUB would be open, brewing and hopping (no pun intended) by fall. Delays aplenty followed, but pubs, restaurants and [...]
