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.

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

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials  pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger.  Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a  wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
