Yelp's Sweet On You Elite Event @ Moonstruck…
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhood: Southwest Portland
Perhaps my most gluttonous event yet.... The chocolate fondue was great, and the booze-infused milkshake? Brilliant. For those of us who non chocolatiers, there were plenty on the light side of the chocolate coin. Chocolate covered hazlenuts, carmelized almonds, and good wines and beer. Great event and a great crowd.

Nakwon
Category:
Korean
Neighborhood: Southwest Portland
HOLY mackerel!!!
The portions here are great, plan on sharing or having a great bonus meal later, ie leftovers. I had the spicy mackerel, mostly because I love fish, but maybe because I wanted to see how many times I could say HOLY mackerel in one sitting. Nakwon is a really special treat for those of us that are new to Korean food. Being able to taste all the little appetizers they bring out and smell all the spices of everyone's dishes around you made this that much more fun for me. The Korean "Idol" show playing on the TV... Icing on the cake.

I have never been a fan of tariyaki.... Then I had Mashita. I had the spicy chicken and it was nearly enought to feed 3 Troys. I brought the remainder home and it made the best leftovers I have had since living in the great state of Oregon. Nice to know that even in Tualatin there are great dining options!

Henry's 12th Street Tavern
Categories:
Pubs,
American (New)
Neighborhood: Pearl District
I have yet to find my replacement for Papago Brewery (Scottsdale, AZ). Henry's is filing that void, for now. With over 100 beers on tap and an excellent happy hour, Henry's is definitely worth the trip. My go-to would be their 1/3lb burger w/house made chips. Nothing like fresh chips! Their tap list rotates so you are sure to find good seasonal brews on tap.
Being so close to the pearl, expect a certain level of swank here, nothing off-putting, but enough to make Henry's feel like local restaurant not a neighborhood pub.
Need to check out the pool table room, that might be enough to grant another star.

Little Bird
Category:
French
Neighborhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
I have to give Little Bird 5 stars for doing 2 things for me:
1. Proving that french cuisine is exceptional
2. Making duck my new favorite bird (to eat).
Having lived in Portland for 3 months now, Little Bird is the best meal I have had since here, and they can look forward to seeing more of this guy.

Nana nah-nah, goodbye, Nana Thai!!!! Hello Bonafide! It is so nice seeing more local restaurants opening up in Bloomington/Normal. I made the most of my trip back to IL and was able to eat here 2 times. My family met me here for an early birthday celebration. There were 15 of us and our appetizers and entrees came out very quickly.
Several of my family members had not eaten Thai before and were surprised in the lack of shiny greasy food most of us come to expect when eating Asian food. My meal had plenty of veggies, a great sauce, and left me feeling full but not food-coma full! My next trip I had the steamed mussels in perhaps the best broth I have had.
I will be back next time I'm in IL, Pad Kra Prao extra spicy!!

Yelpzilla! A Wafu Elite Event
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhoods: Southeast Portland, Clinton, Richmond
This was my first Yelp event in Portland, and although I didn't get to explore near as much of the Wafu menu as I would like, I did get to have a few delicious cocktails. It is nice to be reminded of the deliciousness of ginger ale from time to time.
en route to OR the stop of the night was at VBC. Had a couple dollar tacos and a pretty damn tastey ipa. Very friendly and fun staff.

Novak's Hungarian Restaurant
Category:
Hungarian
Driving from AZ to OR, fighting hunger, being tired and maybe a slight hangover, Novak's was exactly what I needed. I had the salad with Hungarian vinegerette, a very hearty goulash and langos. Langos is a giant fried bread thing. It is like a pancake bred with a donut.... The copilot had a sampler plate that included a meatball wrapped in cabbage. Anything wrapped in cabbage is a-ok in my book.
