Lardo ( update )



Lardo is now a restaurant , praise the lard !
They now rest at their permanant location at -
1212 S. E. Hawthorne in Portland , Oregon
For those of you who have been to the cart you will see familiar touches .
The same loving attention to awesome food has been transfered to their expanded menu .
The combination of flavors makes this one of the most satisfying places I eat .
Farm fresh and attention to detail spinkled with love for food .
Yes you can taste the difference .

Don't forget to praise the lard when you tip :)

This menu have expanded vastly . The porchetta is still there but not on the menu . As it takes time to prep you have to ask if they have it that day but the other offerings are just as good .

They now have a full bar to compliment your entree .

They also serve several beers as well .
Don't be afraid to ask for help from your bartender .
 

One of the things I really like about this location is ample setting both inside and out .

Whether inside , in the garden style area , or on the side walk you can still enjoy Portland .

The order counter is centrally located and next to the bar for easy access to everything .

This was a unique touch - wooden spoon numbers :)

This is a great spin on the BLT
Pork Belly , Lettuce , Tomato
Very flavorful - the lemon adds a very high bright note .
Served on bread from Fleur de Lis . 
Complimented by Lardo fries  with fresh herbs and parmesan .

The Bronx Bomber
This sandwich blew my mind !
Painted Hills Top Round , Provolone . Mama Lil's peppers , and carmelized onions
Explosive flavor :)
 
The owner Rick , one of the nicest guys , Really took his vision the the next level and delivered .
I can't say enough about his use of ingredents and flavor combinations .
 
If I had to choose a last meal is would be the Lardo Porchetta Sandwich .
I would die with a smile on my face and peace in my belly .
 
If you want to check these guys out head to
or head to 1212 S.E. Hawthorne in Portland , Oregon
 
A special thanks to Perry Perkins for sharing food with me today .
The look on his face as he ate was priceless .
I think he acheived bliss like me .
Check out what he thought at
 
Living in Portland we are surrounded by food ,
don't be afraid to step outside and take a bite .
You never know what you are going to find .
