Mmm, these ribs were great. I liked the simple and elegant presentation. The sauce was very tasty and slightly sticky so it stayed on the ribs fairly well.

Foie gras profiterole – Le Pigeon
Powdered foie gras sugar, caramel.
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
Omg, this was dessert heaven! I loved everything about it. Period.
Peanut buster parfait – Dairy Queen
Peanuts, vanilla soft serve, hot fudge. $3.89
Dairy Queen, Port Orchard WA
I grew up with Dairy Queen and it was always a treat to get one of their soft serve desserts. Ok, it’s not the best but it brings me back. 🙂
Cadillac margarita – Puerto Vallarta
1800 tequila, triple sec, house margarita mix, orange liqueur float. Medium $13.50
Puerto Vallarta, Port Orchard WA
This place is pretty great for a quick happy hour. The drinks aren’t very strong but their complimentary chips and salsas are addictive.
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
The Gulch panini – Whiskey Gulch Coffee Co.
Ham, whiskey cheddar, apple butter and stone ground mustard on focaccia, served with side salad. $9.45
Whiskey Gulch Coffee Co., Port Orchard WA
This sandwich was good, but there was A LOT of cheese. I like cheese as much as the next guy, but there has to be come balance when it comes to a sandwich (except for a super cheesy grilled cheese perhaps). The flavors were good though and the salad was great.
Chinese broccoli – Yank Sing
With oyster sauce. $6.50
Yank Sing, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good. I liked the presentation and that everything was was cut to size. Yum.
Hot tea. $1.95
I think it’s lame that they charge you for tea, but don’t tell you that. Lame!
Corned lamb shoulder – Le Pigeon
Potato, cabbage cream, huckleberries, horseradish, nasturtium. $28
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
Wow, this was amazing! Ugh, I really love great food and Le Pigeon certainly delivered. I mean who thinks of huckleberries and horseradish?! The lamb shoulder was delicious and all the component really supported it beautifully. Noms!
Chicken tikka brown rice bowl – Tava Indian Kitchen
All natural hormone-free chicken marinated in tandoori spices, light tomato cream sauce simmered with Indian spices. $7.50
Tava Indian Kitchen, San Francisco CA
This place is like an Indian version of Chipotle. You choose you toppings and build your bowl, salad, or burroti. Anyway, I didn’t like it. It was mostly rice and not enough of anything else. Their scoops for the meat are tiny so there’s practically no chicken in there. You do get to choose as many sauces you want, but who cares if there’s no meat to eat it with. I need more meat!
Horners burger – Horner’s Corner
100% ground chuck, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, tomato, greens on a brioche roll with side salad. $13
Horner’s Corner, San Francisco CA
This burger was actually really good. The beef patty was juicy and delicious and the grilled onions were yummy. And I’m a sucker for brioche buns!
Chicken enchiladas – Rico Mex
With guacamole and sour cream. Served with rice and black beans. $6.50
Rico Mex, San Francisco CA
Meh, these were fine but definitely not the best quality. I liked that they put plenty of guacamole on the enchiladas, but I probably won’t go back.
Shanghai kurobuta pork dumpling – Yank Sing
Xiao long bao. $12.95
Yank Sing, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these were really good! The wrapper was thin and delicate and the soup and pork filling were delicious. There were probably some of the better XLB I’ve had in a while!

Vinegar sauce with ginger.
Halibut and fava bean – Le Pigeon
Fava bean puree, ancho chile puree, summer squash and porcini salad, porcini mushroom puree.
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
I generally don’t get excited over fish dishes, but this was delicious and refreshing. The halibut was cooked perfectly – still tender and flavorful. The other ingredient and sauces were amazing with the fillet. Omg, I loved the ancho chile puree especially. Noms!
