In Videos: Anthony Bourdain Visits Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, Oregon

I now eat no other donuts other than Voodoo. All pale in comparison, and I only allow myself a max of 4 shared donuts a year. They're addicting. Thank goodness I live in Portland. ^_^

Pizza Ovens on Wheels: The Traveling Wood-Burning Pizza Ovens of Veraci Pizza

Hey! I had one of their pizzas at the Death Cab for Cutie concert I went to a couple of weeks ago in Bend. The wait was excruciating, but expected, since there was a huge line. Being low on cash (only had $8 in my pocket), I got a Quattro Frommagio, and shared it with the boyfriend - it was really quite good. I'm glad I joined that line instead of anything else there... ^_^

Poutine: Curdy Canadian Comfort

The boyfriend and I have been trying to recapture the poutine he enjoyed in Québec years ago, and I think we nearly got it with fresh curds from Tillamook (we live in Portland), crispy frozen fast-food-style fries from the grocer's freezer, and topped with chicken-goose gravy (homemade). It was ah-may-zing. We're heading up to Vancouver in a couple of weeks and plan on stopping by NYFries or similar from some good ol' Canadian poutine.

Grocery Ninja: Devil’s Tongue Jellies

Are these any different than the "Fruitery Jelly" or the lychee jelly candies? I purchase them at the local Uwajimaya (Japanese grocery store)...

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

When I was younger, we had some chickens that conveniently came with the house we purchased. My dad, being a frugal and lazy man, built a nice coop house high off the ground for the chickens to nest in, only without the small doors next to the nesting boxes to get the eggs. Being the only child in the house, I was the one who had to crawl *into* the chicken house to gather eggs. The chickens really didn't like that much.
The end.

Mmmm bagels with cream cheese and pickled herring with pickled onion and a mimosa. To. Die. For. I need to get back to NYC soon... you just can't get that kind of thing in PDX.

Check out Inferno Catering at www.infernocatering.com. These guys have an Italian made oven on wheels with a full kitchen da boot.

We were Marshall's first clients for a home oven (May '07), and I have to say, there are few things as fun as having a pizza oven in your back yard. That said - it's a lot of work. We are still more than happy to head to one of the markets to find Veraci for a slice - their pizza is always satisfying, and almost as good as making it at home.

The original article didn't mention that the location of the new, non-mobile Veraci's will be in a former Domino's store. Talk about an improvement!

Maple bars are my favourite. With bacon ~ mmm that looks pretty good!

Funny about the Nyquil donut and the cigarette donut...LOL

Never been to Voodoo. Next time I plan a trip down south I'll have to check this place out

Pacific NW was a fun episode of No Reservations :-)

In that same episode, he goes to Apizza Scholl's, also in Portland. On my last road trip there, I convinced three of my buddies to go. At the time, they took no reservations, so we waited nearly three hours for a seat. It was worth it.

Gonna hit up Voodoo when I'm there over Labour Day. And Apizza Scholl's again, too.

Pretty awesome -- I read about this yesterday in Nancy Leson's food column in the Seattle Times. How amazing is this -- I've been hearing about this amazing pizza available at local farmers markets and now I can try to get some myself.
