Portland Area Native Food

Mo's? I was there also...was showing my college roomate around Portland as he had a weekend pass from his wifey.

I take it you've never been to Boston? Legal Seafoods Clam Chowder is AWESOME. Kills mo's chowder.

Also, if you go to Pike Chowder in Seattle, their Scallop Chowder is fucking TITS.

I also like the chowder at Ivar's vs. Mo's.

Probably was Mo's but the clam chowder is far superior at most of the little unknown restaurants up and down the coast in towns I can't remember. There was this one place we went when I was a kid that had criss cut fries with clam chowder that was the bomb.

I think it wasn't Mo's I was thinking of but a place called Schooner Bay or something. It might have been in Newport, wherever it was it was awesome.

Oregon food is Salmon, huckleberries, marionberries and microbeer and wine

Washington DC is better known for Marion Barrys.

We have polish sausages and Gyros too. Wat I like about Portland is that food from all over the country and world seems to gather here. Its like a chefs convention. By the by, if you are ever in Portland and feel like you are in need of a high quality New York style pizza head over to A Pizza Scholl's. Awesome pizza there. Matter of fact if you are ever in Portland and looking for a place to grab a bite could ask me some good places to eat. For Authentic Mexican (Not that Tex-Mex stuff found everywhere) You could visit the Hungry Skeleton. If you want a nice Irish Pub stop on by to Kell's. If Indian is your thing my favorite place would have to be the Bombay Cricket Club. If you want Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese pick a road like Hawthorne or Belmont or 82nd walk a couple of blocks and pick one. There is also a rather large amount of cafes to choose from but that isn't really my scene.

I agree. We have good seafood, marionberries, huckleberries, Walla Walla Sweet Onions and Tillamook Cheese, but we don't really have any one thing that people come here to seek out or even seek out while they are here, but we do have a wider variety than most places.

I still think Salmon with a preparation of locally grown vegetables is one of the things that first pops into my mind as a must try for the oregon visitor.
