After some consideration and more than few visits to restaurants around Portland, I decided to create a separate blog for food-related musings. Mostly I’m envisioning restaurant reviews (and rants) with some pictures and some recipes if I come up with something truly worth sharing.
Last week I went to a restaurant on Division called Hedge House with one of my friends. We were really hungry and after discovering that Pix Pastisserie doesn’t do much in the way of a lunch menu, we ended up at Hedge House since it was next door. Upon reflection, I think we would have been better served to eat peanuts from the gas station down the street. In other words, it SUCKED. I had mac and cheese, which is pretty difficult to mess up. But they managed it. I don’t know what recipe they’re using , but I imagine it goes something like this:
Boil some noodles. Add some milk. Wave some cheese over the pot, but do not allow it to come into actual contact with the noodles. Add cayenne pepper, about 2 tablespoons per serving. Cover with stale bread crumbs, bake and plate. Garnish with lettuce that’s at least a week past its prime and serve. After service, do not under any circumstances check to see if the customer enjoyed their dish. Because you know that they didn’t.
Supposedly the sandwiches are good, and in all fairness they did look appealing. However, I’m not going to take the chance of being dissappointed in another meal. There are too many other good restaurants to explore in Portland.
The Lompoc is not known for it’s food. The beer on the other hand is the best in Portland.
That’s good to know…I figured since it was pretty busy, something must have been pretty tasty…maybe I’ll go back with one of my beer drinking friends
