Lunch at Jake’s Famous Crawfish

June 30, 2017 by 4 Comments

When I entertain visitors to Portland, I try to always provide a mix of visiting some restaurants that are trendy and new but also some Portland classics that are tried and true. While my mom was visiting for a few days, I decided to fulfill her request for a salad with avocado. That at first flummoxed me as I tried to rack my mind for outstanding avocado salads, but then I suggested also along  with avocado perhaps some seafood for lunch, and boom our destination is a classic lunch at Jake’s Famous Crawfish.

Highlights of Taste of Chicago

July 3, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Two highlights for this food festival:

Grazie's seafood pineapple salad at Taste of Chicago 2008 was fresh pineapple that burst with refreshing juice with each pineapple chunk, and it was nicely chilled seafood salad (probably the leftovers from all the crab legs everyone else was getting here).

Adobo Grill's Cochinita pibil (pork tacos) hidden away by Buckingham Fountain (but far enough away from the Budweiser Clydesdales) was the prettiest thing I ate at Taste of Chicago 2008. Brawny was passing out free towels at the event and you need them to eat this.
