This is the eternal question with me . we know we all need to eat to survive but there is so much more to it . Food brings out so much in me . i savor good food to the point i close my eyes and nothing else exists some times . life is shared with it and over it . It is given to make someone happy , console the greiving , and is an eccential part of life . It can be abused like a drug but it can heal like one too . When life goes sideways i get lost in it , when life is good i celebrate with it . sometimes it is a creative outlet , absorbing all our creative energy and love resulting in near perfection . It seems to be an extention of who we are and we seek it out . Food is as deverse as the people that populate the planet . There are books , movies , tv shows , and schools dedicated to it .
The question i have for you is what is it to you ? Friend or foe or both ?
I will leave you with this parting picture - this burger that we created at Slappy Cakes . it was the result of a perticularly rough day and after wading through it in 11 minutes after the staff joking dubbed it a man vs food challenge i felt better . maybe not cured but the creative outlet of building such a monster and devouring it was gratifying . This was there standard bacon cheese burger made with fresh ground chuck with and egg , mushrooms , blue cheese , goat cheese , proscuitto , and avocado added to it .

welcome
Just wanted to say hey to anyone checking this blog out . i am a native of Portland , Oregon who has a passion for eating and experiencing life . Recently single i figured it's time to figure out me and the things i like . Food has always been a big part of my family and i savor good food experiences and live for the chance to experience the new and familiar . my facebbok page has been stacked with pics of some of my food conquests which lead to a few people telling me I should blog , so i am here .
You won't see much 4 star food here , living on a budget , but i will be postin pics and thoughts on the lastest places i am enjoying . not a typically foodie - i don't spend alot of time reviewing places . i don't believe in giving any attention to things i don't like , momma said if you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say anyting at all . I do however promote that which i enjoy with furver . Really don't expect you to agree , it's what i like . living in a town full of restaurants , food carts , delis , etc . there is an endless supply of places to talk about . Hope you find this informative and enjoy it . I may leek a little of my lfe on this page but i'm not a food reviewer - i'm just a big guy sharing food in portland . that's not just a line , ask anyone who has sat with me at a meal - food like life is meant to be shared . post at you soon .
