Donuts Galore

When visiting Portland Oregon, if there is one thing you cannot pass up, it would be the donut shops. 

After trying to figure out which ones we were going to go to during our short time there we decided Voodoo was too famous to not go to, and Pip's. We decided on Pip's because they looked so sweet and small and delicate. We were also going to try and squeeze a third donut shop in, but unfortunately it wasn't possible.
VOODOO


Voodoo Doughnuts has some of the most beautiful, artsy, humorous and delicious doughnuts that we've had. They are very decently sized and very decently delcious! They have one of the best maple bacon Doughnuts out there and plenty other delicious ones to choose from. This is a must stop if you are in Portland, Oregon.



As you can see, this Choclaty fella may look mean but oh boy, was it delcious! We weren't even completely sure if this donut was going to have filling, it did not have filling but it DID NOT even need it! it was delcious exactly the way it was. The donut alone without all of the Choclate was cooked to perfection but the chocolate was a sweet plus to something already so tasty!


Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a doughnut straight out of a cartoon? Well, at Voodoo Doughnuts you can do just that, by ordering their famous Homer Simpson Doughnut! when you receive the doughnut it appears just as it does in the Simpsons franchise. Not only is the appearance of this legendary treat spot on, but the taste is unbelievable! The doughnut alone is as tasty as you would expect but the strawverry frosting gives it such a flavor that you can only find at Voodoo Doughnuts. No wonder Homer's mouth is always watering! 



PIP'S


Pip's Doughnuts also located in Portland, Oregon is very different from any doughnut place in the United States. We love eating outside of the box and we were surprised to find out that this place was very unique and different from most doughnut shops.

We were lucky enough to go there on Seth's birthday so we were gladly given a free birthday dozen on the house! They had many special flavors, and they were all delicious. as you can see Nutella plays a big role at Pip's Doughnuts!

The assortment of flavors of these tiny doughy creations was phenomenol. The bacon doughnut was filled with what appeared to be bacon jam and it was unlike many doughnuts you would find. There was also a couple of different doughnuts that all had Nutella incorporated in them and each one was very sweet and tasty. The cinnamon doughnut was also great, especially for the fact that it was so simple.




Portland, Oregon knows how to make doughnuts, that's for sure. Both Voodoo and Pip's positively impressed us. We know that if we ever come back to Portland we know where we are going to get doughnuts!

Until our next food review! TASTY!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet...

Amorino has the Gelato

  Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well.  When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so ...

Picklesburgh!

Pittsburgh, PA is not only a fun city to visit, but they have one of most unique traditions of many, the Picklesburgh pickle festival!! We are huge fans of pickles, and we had a blast on previous travels to Pittsburgh, so this event was perfect for us! In this particular post we are going to be telling you about all of our delicious encounters of Picklesburgh. Picklesburgh has everything pickles! Name it and most likely they have it. Anything from pickle brine chicken, pickle soda, to even pickle moonshine, and pickle cupcakes. We were lucky enough to try a good handful of these pickled creations. When we first arrived in Pittsburgh we kept our eyes peeled for the giant pickle floating in the sky! It was surely there floating above all of the delicious pickle stands and happy festival goers. It had a very fun feel being there because of the fact that it is all located on the famous Roberto Clement Bridge. Our first goal when we arrived was getting a one of a kind selfie with t...
