Our breakfast at Pine State Biscuits!

Pine State Biscuits

One of our morning stops before some Oregon site seeing was Pine State Biscuits. This place is really well known in the Portland area. We were definitely excited about this tasty stop from all of the great things we heard about it.

We thought we would have a nice breakfast before heading out to see the world famous Mount Saint Helens. Pine State Biscuits was very fast laced breakfast restaurant but had a very great uniqueness to it. The menu had a good variety. We chose the Reggie Deluxe and the Shrimp and Grits!

The Reggie Deluxe

This dish was fairly decent. It was some what different from regular breakfast dishes. The Reggie deluxe is a biscuit with fried chicken, cheese, bacon, and covered with sausage gravy. It didn't blow us away like we though but it was definitely tasty. It the flavors of everything were pleasing for a breakfast dish. The biscuit was fresh, the gravy had a nice flavor and the chicken was simply okay. We did appreciate the fact that they tried to think outside the box by incorporating fried chicken in a breakfast dish.

Shrimp and grits

This was a decently sized plate with 6 pieces of deliciously seared shrimp and a pile of bacon and shitake mushrooms on top of a bed of creamy grits. The appearance made you want to dig right in. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We tried the grits by themselves first and they had the perfect consistency and had a nice soft and mild flavor. Next we tried everything else on the plate, everything was AWESOME! The shrimp and mushrooms had an awesome flavor of the bacon and a wonderful garlic flavor that really stuck out. They cooked the mushrooms, bacon, garlic and shrimp all in the same pan and it couldn't have gotten any tastier. They definitely know there way around some shrimp and grits!

All in all we think that Pine State Biscuits is a pretty decent place to get breakfast. This was yet another Portland, Oregon restaurant review out of many of our tasty stops. Until our next 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 pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
