Portland - a foodie's paradise

A block of food trucks in downtown Portland

If there is one thing I like better than gardens, it is food! I love to eat and unlike Michael, who prefers to eat at the same places and have the same dishes over and over again, I enjoy trying new places. 

The restaurant choices in Portland are mind boggling. You can find any cuisine you desire.

Rebecca and McKenzie kept telling me about the food trucks in downtown Portland. I expected a food truck here and there but not an entire block of them! One after another and every type food imaginable. It was quite an experience.

 

 

I loved the name of this one - EuroTrash - and I had a huge hamburger here.

One of my favorite places was a little vegan restaurant called The Loving Hut. I love Chinese food and this stuff was amazing. It was better than real chicken and beef!

   

Yum!

 

This was an appetizer at the Multnomah Falls Lodge restaurant. It is Ceviche. I've seen chefs making this many times on TV shows but had never tried it before.

Voodoo Donuts - a very popular Portland stop. The line was very long so we didn't eat there. Maybe next time.

Another great restaurant was Proper Eats, located in the St. Johns area where our friends are moving. We had an amazing breakfast here. I had the Tempeh Scramble (above), made of seasoned tempeh, roasted potatoes, black beans, salsa and guacamole wrapped in a tortilla.

 

Proper Eats is located in the back of a small grocery store. They had an amazing selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

 

And here we are - myself, Rebecca, McKenzie (second from right) and the Lopez family.
