A SacFoodie in Portland
A couple weeks ago, I found myself strolling the streets of Portland’s Pearl District with friends and admiring the range of food options, spanning from fancy fare to quirky holes in the wall.
Oregon is definitely known for its beer, so I wasn’t surprised to discover that the brewery that makes my favorite beer also has a restaurant (several, actually). Rogue Distillery & Public House is located in the heart of Portland’s Historic Brewing District. Besides a menu full of pub classics, they’ve got 38 beers on tap, including my favorite – Hazelnut Brown Nectar.
As luck would have it, the Portland area was experiencing a bit of a water safety issue at the time, so we weren’t able to order any water with our food. This allowed me to feel far less guilty when I ordered a few rounds of this not-on-the-menu gem – the Rogue Snickers (hey, I needed to wash down my dinner somehow, right?).
The Snickers was a mixture of my aforementioned favorite, Hazelnut Brown Nectar, and their Chocolate Stout. Wow. Simply wow! It really hit the spot with its rich, velvety flavor.
After dinner, we walked the beers off and headed to the popular Northwest staple – Voodoo Doughnut. As another SacFoodie mentioned on her trip to Voodoo, this must-see shop also serves as a wedding chapel. Yes, it’s one of those eccentric joints that make Portland so idiosyncratically wonderful. The doughnuts on display made us (and the estimated 50 people in line ahead of us) drool. Our wait was about 25 minutes, but it was so worth it.
I opted for the Old Dirty Bastard, which featured chocolate, Oreos and peanut butter. Apparently, the Bacon Maple Bar is one of their most popular, so I’m definitely going to try it the next time I visit.
If you’re ever in Portland, I seriously recommend stopping by Rogue Distillery (even if the city’s water is safe to drink) and Voodoo Doughnut. This SacFoodie was sad to leave!

Wordless Wednesday: Fruit Tart from Ettore’s
Surprisingly, the photo of this mouth-watering fruit tart from Ettore’s was taken with my iPhone, under the guidance of the über-talented Sacramento food photographer Jessica Nicosia Nadler (I could only muster a couple photos before I surrendered to eating the tart in practically one bite).
Wordless Wednesday- St. Louis Sustenance
A few weekends back, I visited St. Louis for my very first time. Although I was there for work and didn’t have much free time, I still managed to enjoy a couple very tasty morsels while on the road.
Photo number 1 can be described in four words: Snickers Peanut Butter Cake. Need I say more?
Photo number 2 may seem mundane, but I consider myself a bit of a bagel connoisseur and The Great American Bagel Bakery in the St. Louis airport was seriously top notch. I ordered it loaded with veggies – a perfect pre-flight meal and so worth the walk through two terminals to get there.
See you next time, STL!
