Burnside Brewing offers an appetizer called a cohiba- Duck Confit, Crispy Crepe, Wrapped in Collard Greens- that has the interesting presentation of being presented to look like a cohiba which is actually a premium "Cuban cigar".

The presentation conceit is fabulous- with a little tube area to hold the cigar in this glass ashtray along with the "ashes". Admittedly, for $6 you are only getting a few bites- though each bite is crispy but moist and a balance of the flavor of the savory duck meat  wonderfully with the collard green. If you're at Burnside Brewing enjoying their beers and eating, you definitely will want to order more- this is basically a  one per person appetizer!

Recently and coincidentally, Eater.com just posted a little photo series of Burnside Brewing's chef Ronnie Vance making a cohiba. Of the breweries in Portland I think Burnside does have some tasty gastropub food that stands out among others who coast on food as a second thought to beer, so kudos to Burnside for its aspirations. Although I was disappointed by the fries and the dessert on my last visit during Zwickelmania earlier this year, the two entrees just blew me away, and this cohiba does too.
