I heart NO virgin lemonade. Especially good with a shot of Blueberi Stoli. :-) Yummy!

Where Do We Get a Good Slice in Portland, Oregon?
I don't think they have slices, but for a whole pie (and the experience) go to Apizza Scholls in Hawthorne.
Further down the valley... "Apizza" in Stayton is getting some buzz. Lefty's in Salem is a good bet.
Heading East? Pizza Mondo in Bend is my favorite.
And for an extended road trip head out to Baker City and try the slice of the day at Paizano's. OM NOM NOM! They are making some outstanding pizza way out there in Eastern Oregon...
What to dip my french fries in...
Smother them with pulled pork, bbq sauce, and shredded cheese. Yummm...
What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?
I've tried Mexican food in many cities, including almost every one listed in the poll. Pepe's in Central Oregon (Bend and Madras) is very authentic and delicious. If there had been a few things different, I would have thought that we were sitting in a little beachside family restaurant in Mexico. In case you were wondering... yes! I have actually been to little beachside family restaurants in Mexico. They are fantastic. They are friendly. And the food ROCKS. The food, drinks and atmosphere at Pepe's is as close as anyone has come in the US.

The Sea Galley commercials with the guys in crab leg pants are much better testament to the 80's than the Red Lobster adventure: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zQSNnGFJ4Ro

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham
ham on light rye with swiss cheese with a little bit of mustard and a leaf of lettuce (not the shredded junk). In the summertime, add a slice of sweet, ripe tomato. Hold the mayo!

Personality. Otherwise food from all chefs would taste the same. :)

Newman's Own Fair Trade Organic coffee is the best. I love to imagine I'm gazing into those gorgeous blue eyes while sipping a cup of my favorite brew every morning!

My favorite is Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa. I find it incredibly addictive and have been known to eat it by the spoonful straight out of the jar when I've run out of tortilla chips.

I use a lot of his products. I love the pasta sauces (especially Sockarooni) and salad dressings. My cats love his food. But my absolute fave (so fave that I can barely keep it in the house) are the Ginger-O's. Good LORD, they are good. I talk about them frequently. If I ate them every time I thought about them, I'd be a house!

for me, no other brand competes with his salsa. i mash up an avocado, and dump a whole jar of the medium heat salsa in the bowl, and stir it up. i've been eating it since childhood. it has the perfect proportions...and real corny chips make it perfect.

Ginger Newman-O's with milk. So freakin good.

I love the NO Peppermint Cups. They are my ultimate guilty pleasure.

agreed about the sockarooni sauce. i tried to go look at their site for a list of products, and the full site is down because of the massive amount of traffic theyve recieved since his death. ill take that as a good sign. all of the proceeds for NO go to charity, correct? thats pretty amazing. what an excellent way to use your fame for the greater good. kudos, paul, and rest in peace. lets keep the ball rolling.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was UTTERLY distracted by that middle picture. Holy crap was he a gorgeous man. :)
Seriously though, his sesame ginger dressing is frikkin awesome. And his light lime vinaigrette is scrumptious. It doesn't taste light, and is great for marinating. I love that his foods not only go to good causes, but they're not poor quality. The stuff tastes great!

His Sesame Ginger salad dressing is ridiculously good, and I say this as a total salad dressing snob. It's the only bottled dressing I use as dressing.
His Caesar Salad dressing makes a great marinade for meat/chicken/protobello mushrooms.
His lemonade is just as good as everyone says it is.

I like his Asian dressing as well as any other bottled salad dressing out there, but there's a lot of good NO stuff to choose from.
