Be the bartender's best friend (But bartenders,... →
I like this list from Portland Pulp. People who order preposterous drinks and other such nonsense should know damn well what’s in them and be able to quickly rattle off their ingredients if one of Portland’s hapless beer slingers does not know how to make it.
But! Bartenders! Please, for the love of fucking Baby Jesus, learn how to make your basic, primary, goddamn rudimentary...

SE Portland construction sign says: "Stop!... →
Ha ha. Sign hacking like this was a big deal a few years ago, until construction crews and ODOT-type folks started locking up the control panels, where you can change what a sign says. I guess that’s no longer happening? Well, anyway, awesome. WE WANT MOAR ZOMBIE SIGNS, etc.

Everyone looks great today.
I’m sitting in the Fresh Pot downtown, and everyone looks outstanding. Everyone’s haircuts are crispy. Everyone’s trousers fit. Everyone’s shoes are…at lest intentional, rather than the “I put these on because I randomly found them in my closet” look I’m used to. What’s up, Portland? Everyone usually looks so schlubby. Also, this guy in front...

The Roseburg Tea Party are just a bunch of total... →
Here’s your crazy fucking story for the day, from Douglas County (OR) News Review:
A small political gathering of about 18 liberal thinkers at River Forks Park Sunday afternoon erupted in conflict when about 35 members of the conservative tea party intruded upon the meeting, waving flags and holding signs accusing the rival group of being communists, Marxists and socialists.
The liberal...

Yakuza makes a great burger, and I'm ready to eat... →
From Thrillist:
Yakuza’s Asian-inspired paradise just unleashed their only-for-Thrillisters “Tripe B”, an already-awesome burger augmented with bone marrow aioli, Tillamook white cheddar, and crisp tempura pork belly”
That motherfucker sounds good, yo.
In other news, I’m about a butt hair away from being finished with a big-assed feature story. It’s really nice...

Artigiano | Food Carts Portland →
From FCP:
“The day I visited the special was fettuccine with garlic scapes, red pepper flakes and shaved Parmesan served with a mixed green salad and sliced baguette on the side. Yes, please! The scapes were so fresh, they had just finished prepping them for lunch. The dish was brilliant with that light garlic flavor, a buttery texture and a hint of heat from the red pepper...
Riding TriMet? Plenty of bugs could be sharing... →
Ha ha, when I first read this headline I thought, “Bedbugs. HOLY SHIT.” But then I read the story and it’s just talking about how dirty the seats on TriMet busses and trains are. Dirty with germs and whatnot.
Hey, you guys, do you know what will stop those germs from making you sick if you’re on the bus? YOUR SKIN, pussies.

happy hour honeys: meet the honeys →
Love the new Twitter homies, @happyhourhoneys. Portland needs another food and drink blog like I need a hole in the head, but this site is just a great mix of food and drink reviews, travel writing, personal stories and big-ass photos. All about it.

WatchThis is totally in Portland’s wheel house. There are plenty of good places for it - I’m thinking of all of those great house boats and docks south of the Hawthorne Bridge on the Willie. Or up near St. John’s or something. If anyone builds a boatel, Stumptown Magazine will sponsor it by patronizing the shit out of it once it’s built.
