Portland Salad Week: the Details

As I mentioned last week, here at Bridgetown Bites we are presenting Salad Week from June 6 to 10, 2022. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and the more I write about the salads in Portland the more interesting they become to me. Salad is something with so much variety—it’s not just a side dish of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber (though that still sounds tasty; my younger self would have enjoyed some Marie Callender’s Thousand Island dressing on it, too). It’s any mix of veg, fruit, meat, fish, dairy, nuts, grains and probably other things I’m unaware of. Seriously, the options are plenty.

Campana’s inaugural menu.

I had eaten there during their Italian Night/Pasta Night pop up over the summer, and was really happy eating that food. The housemade pastas were tender with substance and the sauces were delicious. I was kinda blown away that my meal at Campana was even better! My dining companion, Jen, was also really happy with her meal. Continue reading “The Glory of Campana”

Main Season Returns to Hollywood Farmers Market in Portland

West entrance to the Hollywood Farmers Market

One of the great things (among many) about living in the Hollywood District is the proximity to the Hollywood Farmers Market. It’s definitely been one of the perks of living in this part of Portland. They host a lot of variety in vendors, have a friendly staff, and it’s an overall pleasant way to spend part of the morning. I took a few photos there on this very rainy morning and wanted to share them here.

Back After an Unplanned Break + Good Eats

Herring Under a Fur Coat at Kachka

The classic Herring Under a Fur Coat at Kachka, one of the delicious things I ate in the past couple of months.

Well, it’s been about two months since I last visited this little blog, and I sure didn’t mean to be absent for that long. Life took priority—estate work took a lot of my attention, but so did the emotional component of cancer recovery. I just didn’t have enough in me. But that has changed—I still have estate work and am still recovering from cancer, but my focus is better.

As a way of re-entry, I thought I’d recap some of the delicious things I ate in February and March.
