Eesh, these last few weeks have been bonkers. This new job has been B.U.S.Y. busy. In particular readjusting to the commuting back and forth to Hillsboro every day has been challenging. Plus with this beautiful weather we’ve been having, I am still wanting to obviously enjoy the outdoors and spend time with friends. So needless to say, something has got to give. For me, sadly, sometimes that thing is cooking myself dinner (and also Thursday Tours – sorry, we haven’t gotten one to you in a while, promise we more awesome posts coming at ya soon!).
Fried Chicken (and Chickpeas!) and Fun: CHKCHK
1305 NW 23rd Ave & Overto • www.ChkChk.com • @chkchkpdx
Hours: Daily 11am-10pm
While I’m all about the fancy dinners with multiple courses, bottles of wine and table service (I mean, who doesn’t on occasion?!), that can only happen every so often. Most nights during the week, especially with this new crazy busy job, I just want something casual for dinner if I’m too lazy to cook for myself.
That is part 1 of why I was so excited about CHKCHK opening up just a few blocks from my place. A fast-casual, easy, fun restaurant with great food?! Heck yes. Seriously, the powers that be in the Pearl District, we need more places like that. No more $80 a person restaurants. We have enough. Definitely no more window shade stores. Bring on things like P’s & Q’s markets or Thrive Bowls, like North Portland has!
Last Week of Portland Dining Month: 3 Courses for $29!
Have you hit up any of the Portland Dining Month dinners yet? No idea what I’m talking about? It is when numerous Portland restaurants join together to all over (at least) 3 courses for $29 for the entire month of March.
The dinners are typically a set menu, so some deals are better than others. But overall PDM can sometimes just be the excuse to go somewhere too expensive to do on an average night out, or that fun restaurant on your list you just haven’t been to yet.
That was the case for me to get to Muselet, this new wine bar and restaurant in the South Waterfront. I was seriously blown away by how phenomenal this place is.
