So good I ordered two burgers!- Dick’s Kitchen (NW Portland, Gluten-Free)

Since a lot of my friends live in NW Portland there have been a number of times that I was looking for gluten-free options for dinner on Yelp or Googling. On NW 23rd/21st there are plenty of places I can eat at (things that are naturally gluten-free), but not a ton of special gluten-free places […]

GLUTEN-FREE DEEP DISH PIZZA! Repeat that to yourself. GLUTEN-FREE DEEP DISH PIZZA!!- Via Chicago (Portland)

After visiting the Street of Dreams with my dad we went and grabbed lunch. Somewhere in my searches of gluten-free options in Portland I had found out about Via Chicago on Alberta in NE Portland. Spoiler alert: they have gluten-free Chicago-style deep dish pizza!!! I was in Chicago about a month earlier for work and […]

Northwest Street of Dreams 2014 PHOTO BLOG (Portland)

Luckily this summer I was again in Portland in August and was able to go to the Street of Dreams with my dad. As I mentioned last year (post here) the Street of Dreams and the Portland Auto Show were big traditions with my dad growing up. This year the Street of Dreams was in […]

Hole #3 of the Clubhouse Invitational + Gluten-Free Pizza- Pizza Schmizza (Portland)

On the first Saturday that I was back in Portland my friends were having their 2nd Annual Clubhouse Invitational (the Clubhouse being their house in NW Portland). It’s a “golf” tournament involving “holes” at nine favorite watering holes around NW Portland. Each location has a certain drink challenge whose completion leads to a “birdie.” There […]

Quite a fitting name. A “groundbreaking” experience drinking a beer sampler! – Ground Breaker Brewing (Portland, Gluten-Free, Gastropub)

When I am back home in Portland I tend to eat out a lot in an effort to see my friends. Luckily my trips back to Portland have been longer so I don’t have to pack so many meals into a shorter trip. There were some Portland trips after I moved to Miami where I […]

An ode to delicious leftover (and gluten-free) pizza!- Pizzicato (Portland)

I’m back in Portland for my summer visit! My first couple days I was busy with family and friends and while I went to a few places none of them were new or really blogworthy. The first “new” (but not really that new) place I went to was on the Friday after I got there. […]

The pigs aren’t flying. But maybe because I had bacon in my gluten-free burger at MIA (yes you’re reading that correctly)- The Counter (Miami International Airport)

Leading up to my return to Portland the last couple days I had quite a number of special new gluten-free experiences on Sunday and Monday (Pei Wei Asian Diner and Cafe Prima Pasta). Unknown to me I was about the make it the trifecta and do new gluten-free three days in a row! I was […]

Authentic looking and tasting gluten-free pasta- Cafe Prima Pasta (North Beach)

So the other week I decided I had been slacking a little bit on finding gluten-free restaurants in Miami. With how I’ve seen gluten-free options improve (somewhat dramatically) in South Florida in my four plus years here I knew there could definitely be some new options out there I had missed or hadn’t tried. So I […]

Fast-casual gluten-free Chinese without all the substitutions and blandness- Pei Wei Asian Diner (Aventura)

Last Sunday I was hanging out with my little brother and we had made plans to go to the beach. I was leaving for Portland on Tuesday so I wanted to get a lot of sun (I’m held to a high standard of being tan when I go back home). Unfortunately the summer weather did […]

CLOSED: One fry, two fry, cheese fry, burger fry- Benchwarmers (Midtown, Sports Bar)

Unfortunately after only a few months Benchwarmers and the club upstairs has closed… I feel like a lot of my posts start out along the lines of- “I had been wanting to check out this place for months…” and that’s pretty true. I have a bad habit of getting really excited about a place opening […]
