Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 50

Haha that's found great

 

Enjoying these stuffed grape leaves from Costco

 

I’ve been visiting a friend in Vancouver and always forget to take pics, but here’s some Portland food I’ve had.

Pip’s Original Doughnuts and Chai. Waited in line for like 45min for these, which is absurd, but they were really good.


Spicy Jungle Curry w/ sliced brisket from a place called Eem. Picture doesn’t do it any justice, but it was so good.


Smoked Pork Benedict from a place called Screen Door. I’m not even an eggs benedict guy usually, but this was great.

 

I need to up my pdx game cause I still haven't been to pips or screen door

Edit oh wait I lied I have been to screen door. Still need to try pips but the line is always crazy and it's right by dirty lettuce and I usually eat there instead

 

Few more meals I ate in Portland.

My one expensive dinner while visiting. Dry-aged ribeye from RingSide Steakhouse. Steak was really good, but I messed up getting the rice pilaf. Should’ve gotten the baked potato, which I saw comes with a bunch of fixings on the side.


From a place called Pine State Biscuits. I got the Reggie Deluxe sandwich, which has fried chicken, bacon, cheese, topped with both sausage gravy and mushroom gravy. Also got a “Hash-up” which is just hash browns, carmelized onions & mushrooms, bacon, and a cheese square.


Bamboo Sushi. This place was good, but I’m not really a seafood guy so I can’t say if it’s great sushi or not lol.

 

Here are two things I cooked lately that I'm proud of. First is Salmon and roasted tomatoes on the vine with a homemade Caesar salad. The second is risotto with asparagus and fresh peas and roast chicken.

That stray grain of risotto on the side of the plate bothers me, need to get better at plating and attention to detail.

 

Looks good! I just made an asparagus & pea risotto with some mint and seared scallops. Love those flavors together.

 

Sounds good. Mint is an overlooked herb for me. I do a produce delivery service with local farms and get all kinds of vegetables/produce and I try to get stuff that's a challenge so maybe mint will be next. Only time I've used it has been for a mojo marinade and I don't necessarily think that was traditional.

 

I've been making a ton of pan fried greek yogurt chicken breast lately. Its been a huge help with keeping myself on track with healthy eating while still being able to eat stuff with legit flavor. For me, the hardest part of cooking healthy is figuring out meals that are actually satisfying that I'll want to eat multiple days in a row while also fitting into my dietary needs.

My marinade mix is pretty simple: 1/2-ish cup greek yogurt, 4 tbsp mayo, eyeball a few tablespoons of avocado oil, all spices to taste no actual measurements, turmeric and smoked paprika (smoked is key) for color, onion powder, garlic powder, ground Szechuan peppercorn, and forbidden secret sauce (MSG). Salt the chicken for up to an hour then I leave them in the marinade for another 30 minutes and pan fry in avocado oil for like 6 minutes total. if you do it right, the yogurt crisps up soooo nicely and tastes almost like cheese crisps which I personally love.

 

From cooking Indian food, I can vouch for yogurt being a delicious way to marinade and enhance chicken flavors. Never thought to do it with other seasonings though, only done it exclusively when making a curry.

 

fucked up and came in here after skipping breakfast and 4 hours till my lunch.

I've never had raising canes but it looks so good. I watched Joshua Weisman's 'but better video' on it, and it was the first fast food place where the food didn't look sad compared to his. Actually looked really good and appetizing.

 

Cane's rocks

right @imthesheriff

 

Never touched the stuff.

 

Cane's is great, unfortunately, it's one of the worst instances of inflation I've seen in fast food
