Screendoor, What Mo' Could'ya Ask Fo'

On our Oregon vacation and exploration, we headed out to a specific well known location for breakfast.

Screendoor

Much like many old fashion restaurants, Screendoor in Portland Oregon is extremely popular. The vibe of the restaurant is very positive, and the decor and atmosphere is warm and makes you feel at home. The lighting of the restaurant is very soft on a beautiful autumn Portland morning, and nothing goes better with a crisp cool fall day than delicious breakfast.

We browsed the simple menu, and selected our meals quickly. We had a big day ahead of us. Seth opted for their famous chicken and waffle dish, while I on the other hand went with the Texas Veggie Migas. (I can't ever pass up a good Mexican classic)


Chicken and Waffles

The presentation of the dish was impressive, the orange peal on top of the portions of breakfast goodness was a gorgeous touch.



The chicken was absolutely homemade, hand breaded, and cooked to perfection. 

The flavor of the chicken was unbelievable. The batter was loaded with such a perfect selection of spices that really give this chicken such a zing. The juiciness of the chicken and the heat of the spices go together hand and hand.



As for the sweet potato waffle, it tasted just as amazing. Much like the chicken, this waffle was prepared with a number of mystery spices that play such an important role in the entire dish. The chicken and the Waffles tasted great individually, and together, and that's hard to compete with.

Texas Veggie Migas

This dish consists of 3 scrambled eggs loaded with roasted poblano Chile's, onion, tortilla strips, and pepper jack cheese. It is finally topped with salsa Verde and cilantro lime crema. It was also served with a side of roasted potatoes.



A hefty portion of eggs taste great with a hefty portion of flavor, and that's exactly how this dish turned out. 

It was basically eggs, veggies, and somewhat of a Mexican twist, giving them a veggie freshness and a perfectly balanced spiciness which was an awesome combination. The cilantro lime crema topped it off perfectly. It was smooth and cool with an awesome cilantro flavor that is important in any Mexican style dish. They also give you an option of eating it on a tortilla which isn't bad either if you like that sort of thing. 


(Check out that beautiful dash of cilantro)

As you can probably guess, we left Screen Door with our belly's full and our hearts smiling. 

Thank you for such a warm, great experience we couldn't have found anywhere else in the world. 




Portland was a fun place to explore in terms of food, they seem to have breakfast down perfectly. We had other tasty experiences in Portland along with Screen Door, be sure to check them out! 
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...
