If you live in LA, you HAVE to get on this. Over 300 LA-area restaurants are participating in dineLA’s Restaurant Week, and that means you can eat at places like Bouchon, Spago, The Little Door, or even one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants… for dirt cheap. Each restaurant comes up with a special prix fixe menu for the event, ranging from $26-$44 per person. We’re sooo looking forward to dining at District on Sunset and The Bazaar by Jose Andres. Mussel Chowder and Crispy Pork Belly. Gooooood times.
If you want to make reservations and quite possibly have the meal of your life, click here.

Why do all the stores/restaurants/bakeries in Portland have such cute/cool/clever names?! Anyone else notice that?? I love it. Anyway, we’re nearing the end of our Portland whirlwind, but we’ve still got a few more spots to share: A bright and cheerful deli servin’ up old school sammies, and a hip new restaurant on the Northeast end with delicious food and mad style.

Hey y’all! Hope you’re ready for some soul food. I’m out in North Carolina visiting family, so my southern drawl is starting to creep out and I’m feeling like it’s high time we shared Screen Door restaurant and Pine State Biscuits with you. These were two of the biggest highlights of our PDX trip– who knew Pacific Northwesterners could do Southern so well??

So this post is really more like The Ace: Part II. Both of these PDX hotspots are built right into the hotel! Clyde Common is apparently the place to be in downtown Portland on a Friday or Saturday night… but we didn’t feel like bein’ all fancy-pants, so we stopped in one lazy afternoon during happy hour for some munchies instead. Stumptown was my daily vice. Curt’s not a coffee drinker, and normally he’s not too fond of my espresso habit, but it was vacation so he graciously let me grab a latte every morning (thanks, honey!)

Eating breakfast out is one of those simple but rare pleasures. Especially when that breakfast is at a place like Mother’s! Man oh man it was delicious. Curt ordered one of the Specials– Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes (above) will a tall glass of freshly squeezed OJ. Think you can handle more sexy food pics? Better grab a bib for your drool…

Alright kiddies, time to wrap up our Baja adventure. After a day full of street food, we thought we’d step it up a bit for dinner, so we dined at Cheripan before heading back over the border.

This is the menu for the Lake Street Creamery truck. Proprietors Beth and Tim make all their ice cream from the very finest ingredients, right there on the truck. They serve it in a waffle bowl, because it’s better for the planet if the dishware is edible. And they are really, really witty people. Lately they’ve been spending a lot of time at Wilshire and Hauser, but maybe you should just follow them on twitter so you can keep tabs on their whereabouts. If you get there first, save me a jelly donut. Thanks.

P.S. July is National Ice Cream month (not that I needed an excuse to write a post about ice cream).
Well, we’re almost done recapping our Baja food adventure (if you missed the first few posts, they’re here, here, and here)… but we couldn’t leave out our tour of Baja’s wine country, a beautiful area nestled in Ensenada’s Valle de Guadalupe. Our Sunday afternoon adventure in wine country was the perfect complement to our fish taco breakfast (and fish taco lunch). There’s nothing like a little wine and cheese to bring up the class level after you’ve noshed on street food all day. Balance is the key, am I right?

Doesn’t this just look so refreshing? Mint sprigs and fresh berries have a way of doing that.
And it’s called a Blackberry Smash! How fun is that?! I don’t know if that’s supposed to mean that it will actually get you smashed? Or if it’s just smashingly tasty. Only one way to find out…
Get the recipe over on Bless Her Heart (I can’t read that blog name without hearing my grandma’s deep southern drawl, haha)… found via Unruly Things.
