As I have mentioned elsewhere in the blog Nancy and I have the good fortune to live in Portland, Oregon a haven for all things “foodie” related.  In fact, there are many a local haunt that have been featured on one of those networks that feature food (notice how I did not say Food Network).  Sometimes the fact that there are so many great places to choose from can lead to one visiting the same great places over and over again when in fact there is so much to discover. 

     One of the things that keeps Nancy and I a happy couple is the thrill of finding a restaurant, hole in the wall, food cart, bakery, cocktailery etc, etc in our area that has one of the best cheese plates, burgers, happy hours, Manhattans etc, etc.    Naturally we have our favorites around town and in this section we will share them in all their splendor!

       In addition to local fare, occasionally we will feature a yummy venue from “out of town” a rare treat indeed!  So get ready for our picks on where to find the most scrumptious stuff in the City of Roses as well as points beyond and see which ones merit our very special LFLAL five “Mmm” rating.  Also, feel free to chime in with a favorite from where ever you are reading this from.  We’d love to hear about it!

     Pop quiz time!  Does anyone have a guess at where that pic of those lovely biscuits was taken??  They are really damn good especially when paired with the “Kentucky Mules” pictured in the background!
