Food Scene
Best southern inspired food in Portland, make sure to try something off of the local organics menu it is always changing and seasonal. If you go for brunch you won't want to miss their fried chicken and savory waffles! They also serve gluten free fried chicken!! There is almost always a line so either be prepared to wait or get in line 15 mins before they open!

Right around the corner from the house, it is the perfect place to go for breakfast. The portions are huge and they are known for their GIANT cinnamon rolls and house made bread.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Portland. Try the hanger steak, they are always changing up the preparation and it never disappoints. If you go for brunch, order the baked apples and their version of Steak and Eggs served on top of jalapeno skillet cornbread! Amazing and unique. Tip: they don't serve food like other restaurants so don't expect your meals to come out at once. They will make 10 of 1 dish, send it out and then send out something else in a few minutes. Everything is meant to be shared with the table. For a party of 4 I would order a Radicchio salad, Brussel sprouts, Mac and Cheese, and 2-3 Main entrees.

Essentials
Not the closet Fred Meyer the house, but the best one. They have a great salad bar, burrito bar, and other ready to eat items. Just getting into town and want something quick to take back to the house along with a few essentials, this is the best one stop shop. It is super clean and the prices are great.
