bb.q Chicken celebrates 30 years. The folks from Korean fried chicken chain bb.q Chicken reached out to me to inform me that this September marks bb.q Chicken’s 30th anniversary. And not only that, it’s also the birthday of their beloved mascot, ChiBBoQ. To celebrate, they are rolling out a nationwide promotion: free delivery September 4 to 7 and free ddeok-bokki (one of the best street foods ever) September 8 to 12. 2850 SE 82nd Avenue #2 and 917 SW Alder Street, Portland

Happy Birthday Bridgetown Bites! You Are Eight Years Old Today

Happy birthday Bridgetown Bites! That’s right: Bridgetown Bites turns eight years old today. On July 3, 2017, I launched this website with the desire to write about the Portland food and drink scene. It’s grown and changed over the years, but the mission remains the same.

In honor of these eight years, I thought I’d put together eight things I’ve enjoyed learning about over those years, in Portland food and drink. In some cases, I’ve changed my attitude about long-held beliefs. NB: This list is by no means comprehensive.

Delta Carts Food Pod Update: Seating on the patio at the pod in Portland, Oregon.

We have a Delta Carts Food Pod update: They had their soft open yesterday, Tuesday June 17!

Last week I went by to see the space for myself. At my visit, so much of it was complete—the patio, which takes up much of the space, a few carts in, seating, landscaping—such a change from where they started. Here are some photos I took and a little bit of additional details I learned while there.

I have an update on the food cart pod in the Delta Park area. Its name is Delta Carts Food Pod, and it looks like they hope to open this summer—first, a soft opening in June and a grand opening event in July. I had a chance to speak with one of the persons behind the project, Erik Opsahl and here is what I’ve learned.
