Screen Door Restaurant

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. [...]

Screen Door: tranny biscuits and man-crushes
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 [...]
Nuestra Cocina
No one works harder than the Tortilla girl at Nuestra Cocina. It’s a spirit of hard work in the open kitchen; The Executive Chef was toiling away at the grill station while the Sous Chef did the expediting. Tortilla Girl pressed out and hand griddled small, delicious tortillas at a blinding speed.
Autentica
Hit the brunch with Miss Lady on Sunday.
the space is just off Killingsworth, diagonal from the Northside Cup and Saucer location. We were seated by the window so I often found myself chewing slowly, staring at the crowds waiting outside, counting the open tables in Autentica and wondering what was so damn appealing about [...]
Dove Vivi
A few short words on Dove Vivi:
1. Salad Dressing should include something other than Neutral olive oil.
2. I am not cool enough to eat there.
3. If those slices were $2.75 or less, I’d be all about this pizza, but at $3.75, it’s tough.

Biwa redux
The development of lower E Burnside –loE-bu?– has been interesting to watch. You have destination restaurants aplenty, but there are still day laborers hanging out on 6th and Ankeny and the homeless contingent forced across the river occupies the doorways of light industry after nightfall. This dangerous combination has led to horrified suburbanites [...]
Biwa vs. Mio Sushi… memorable mastication succumbs to maurading mediocrity
my apologies for the mumbling alliteration.
Biwa is a sunken restaurant-when you enter, the ceiling is low enough to be hazardous for the tall or mowhawked. Descending a wrangle of stairs to the cement floor, the restaurant is a warm, noisy, wood and cement concoction with spare industrial lighting and a bar abutting the [...]
Dalo’s Kitchen
Dalo’s Kitchen is inside some sort of county multiple use building, low slung and concrete bricks painted grey and pink, that bring back memories of high schools. They’ve managed to make their little section (room 207a) into an attractive enough space, considering. There’s a freshly constructed bar in the corner of the second [...]
Aladdin’s Cafe redux
I first checked this joint out moons ago after local food bloggers of stations higher than mine raved on and on about it.
Suffice to say that my first trip was underwhelming. I’ve not bothered to trek out there to try again, since I had La Villa a short jog away, allowing me to sate [...]
mmmm…..britain…..
there are several things i love about Britain:
1) No one is capable of giving useful directions. I’m not harping on my friends over there; I was outside a pub on Old Street (yes, Old, not ‘Olde’) in a crowd of brits all unsuccessfully attempting give directions to there.
2) It’s not alcoholism, it’s british culture
4) [...]
