“Dear Pigwidgeon" ($10.00):

... was a love letter of luscious lime-lifted coconut cashew prawns, posted with pesto, parsnips and ginger at Carte Blanche.

Avocado airmailed this broccoli-bundled, sesame-sorted rice bowl stamped with crisply fried shallots. Snap peas and corn-glomerated to deliver a marvelous missive of herby excellence.

The “Meddling Puffin” ($10.00):

... did not contain any puffin at all. It was a mint leaf-lined roll filled with braised pork, a perky, citrusy slaw, crunchy fried shallots, pineapple and banana ketchup. This medley of morsels was cheery chompage sided with slivered almond showered broccoli.

Carte Blanche’s food always includes crunchy, tangy, sweet, savory, salty and creamy in a cravable collage of cart chow.

A belly banded Boke Bowl of pork dashi ($10.00, plus $3.00 for belly):

... was kerneled with corn in this porcine pool of noodle noshage. We have had their wares on Water Avenue and were glad to see this new-del house expand across the river.

Brussels sprouts ($10.00, plus $4.00 for chicken):

... were bronzed with sweet support from mango, diced tofu and caramelized cauliflower in a swell salad supplemented with fine fried chicken.

This northwest noodle node is a great place to go for Boke.

In Sellwood, they burn wood at Ash Wood Fired Pizza.

House made starter with grape yeasts gave the dough a sour slant in a marvelous margherita ($8.00):

... and an eggplant and radicchio ($9.00):

... with chili flakes scattered over the melted mozzarella.

These circles of ‘cineration were sensational with chewy edges around the blistered borders of these flavor flaps.

This vittles vehicle peels out great ‘za steered by some Bay Area ex-pats.

Little Big Burger was part of our last lap around the nabe before we blew out of Stumptown.

We got our usual blue cheese burgers, fries and beer and bid adieu to our peppy PDX pullover.

Ken’s Artisan Pizza’s:

... Caesar ($8.00):

... could have used more garlic and anchovy, and the croutons could have been integrated with a bit of dressing, but this Romaine pile tiled with shaved Grana Padano was still a happy heap of leafy likeabilty along with a smoked trout salad:

Roasted ratatouille bobbed in a ball pit of Sardinian couscous lavishly laden with fish flaps.

Black oil cured olives and mozzarella melding in a pleasing pizza ($13.00):

... with a veil of tomato sauce to this nicely chewy, wood-fired circle.

Ken’s makes a solid pizza and pie-riferals.

We got into the Hazel Room:

... just as a shower started and breakfasted on a skillet of ‘sparagus ($13.00) and prosciutto:

A sunny side up topper sauced this pan of thick cut ‘ciutto, The biscuit wasn’t as flaky or tender as we prefer, but the bruléed grapefruit was a perky sideline citrus.

Brussels sprouts ($13.00):

... could have used some more cooking for our tastes, but they were still good in a chicken-sausaged, mushroom scramble with chevre.

We were glad to have some shelter from the storm even though the chow may not not be aimed at our tastes.

... and jalapeño butter with eggs at Tasty n Alder.

This flip-worthy jack was followed up by their hangtown fry ($13.00):

Tasty n Alder remains a good downtown dugout.

A micro dice of zukes and olives dominoed into a deck of white bass ($10.00):

We followed these fish flaps with a hamachi heap ($14.00):

... of blackberried bourbon with a hint of jalapeño to his mezcaled moisture.

Bay shrimp in brioche ($8.00):

... was a top-loaded takeoff on a lobster roll. This slipper of seafood was swell followed by fregola’ed roasted shitakes ($9.00):

Ground prosciutto hammed up a perky pesto in this sumptuous shroomy bowl.

Cumin roasted carrots ($8.00) and fried chicken ($10.00):
