Worth a special trip: deviled Scotch eggs at Brian Boru

Worth a special trip: deviled Scotch eggs at Brian Boru

It was so good that pub owner Laurence Kelly and I–both trying it for the first time–ordered a second one before the first one was gone. It was a solid move.

I have to admit that when I learned that not one but TWO of our cocktails, the “Basil Fawlty” and the “Dawn of the Dead,” were gin-based concoctions, I was concerned. But both of them were spectacularly balanced and refreshing.

One day left: 50% off The Grill Room & Bar

While I’m a big fan of The Grill Room on a snowy night, I REALLY love the shady patio on a hot summer afternoon. Their mojitos are out of control. Fortunately for me, the deal doesn’t expire until August, so I’ll have plenty of time to use mine before I lose it.

There are three days left on Living Social’s 50% off deal for Roost House of Juice, a mecca for juicing diehards and people looking to get their veggie eats on. Located on Free Street, their smoothies and juice combos are out of this world, but they also serve up small plates of dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan nibbles.

Um, this is a NO BRAINER of the highest order. I’m not a sports fan, so Rivalries isn’t a place I generally frequent (although I dig their wings hard!). But if I can get 50% off food or cocktails, I’ll watch football All. Day. Long.

Oh Lord in heaven, this roll must’ve weighed twelve ounces. It was almost a meal in itself, and this is coming from a girl who can put down A LOT of sushi.

Brussels sprouts addiction? Here are the top 5 places to OD in Portland.

Brussels sprouts addiction? Here are the top 5 places to OD in Portland.
December 26, 2012

I’ve “hurt myself” a few times with the Brussels sprouts at Boda on Congress Street, but the effects were only a temporary case of cotton mouth from all of the nước mắm that gives them their irresistible salty-savory allure. I’ve never required medical attention…but if the end was nigh because I ate one too many plates of awesomeness from any of the following places, I’d be okay with it. They really are to die for.
