From the people who brought you Totsgiving, the admirers of the dude pie, comes a new meal for those indulgent days you feel like a true liberal arts college gourmet: BRUNCHOS.

Back-log: Portland Vegan Dining: Food Carts, Portobello Brunch, Hungry Tiger Too & even more Native Foods

Super Creamy Ota Tofu Frittata [...]
Backlog: Home-cooking

The day my camera died (I was at Slappycakes)
The day my old Powershot died, I was at the start of a boisterous visit with friends to the new Slappy Cakes on SE Belmont. Emily watches the dramatic first squeezes… Where you can make your own pancakes at your own table on a hot grill. Where their vegan batter is multigrain and remarkably light. [...]
