    My current portland restaurant bucket list is:

    Beast, Broder, THE RED FIG AT BEAUMONT FAMS, Ox, Apizza Scholls, Le Pidgeon, Bunk Sandwhiches. Ox and Beast are probably my top two, try to knock them out when I'm back in PDX in November.

    You fools need to try Mextiza. I've ate their like 20 times because its convenient. I've tried everything on their menu. Not a thing on that menu I wasn't a fan of.

    I had this butterfish there one time that was bomb/

    I've never been to a voodoo's donuts. I have had leftovers of peoples. Donuts are donuts to me. None will knock my socks off. Its still just a donut.

    Yeah. Actually, the upscale version of Safeways down here has them too...they call them Crossain-nuts or something like that. I got them at a shop...$5 each, fucking rip off.

    I did Pine State at the PSU farmers market. Ahh, fucking love that spot. The sit down one is way better but PSU I got my food in like 5 minutes which rocked. I dug the PSU farmers market too....good vibe, lots of variety and I liked the area as well.

    I also did the Acropolis steakhouse. Steaks were a little over salted, but I really can't complain about a $6 steak I guess. Had some buffalo wings there too...steak bites are the shit though..didn't get them last time, but they're perfect.

    Also had a pretty good Gyros at Marathon Taverna after the timbers game. Fuc, those lines at Jeld Wen were long for food and pissers.

    hah, my cousin is big on yelping in Portland...the community there is pretty close knit I guess. I was yelp elite here for a while but never did any events.

    Its been a couple years since Acrop. Kinda lost its luster. The steak bites were good but nothing to rave about from what I remember. Just the novelty of grubbing on steak morsels while you got pussy in your face is what makes it so appealing.

    Yeah. Me and my bro were going to go to the Departure Lounge or Urban Farmer but everyone cancelled on us b/c of the rain last weekend so we said fuck it, lets go to Acrop. Its just a weird cool vibe. I want to order that big ass 2 lb burger there sometime. $14 lol.

    I think the last time I was there if I recall was the first stop on a little titty bar tour for a buddy of mines bachelor party like 3 years ago now. We were all blacked the fuck out from fireball and it was the first stop. My buddy got kicked out and shoved around by a bouncer for putting hands on this Holly Foxx chick.

    I still need to go to Casa Diablo though. You know, because I'm Vegan and appreciate some vegan food.
