I also got my frozen yogurt fix on while I was here. There aren’t too many, but there are more in Portland than in Philadelphia. The below is from Skinnidip in the Pearl. I got kiwi, mango, and raspberries on plain yogurt. Man, I wolfed this thing down like I was starving. Yes, it was great.

Portland is a fairly quirky town. Something they have that is great though, are swarms of food trucks. They are dispersed, but in a few parking lots, it’s like an oudoor international food court. You can pretty much get anything. If I lived in Portland, I’d be here every day for lunch.
So in the pacific northwest, they’re crazy about salmon. It’s everywhere. I particularly liked this salmon sculpture in the corner of the building. It’s above a seafood restaurant, so it’s fitting.
Portland has a chinatown. It’s small. The name of this building made me chuckle a bit. I wasn’t sure if it was funny, or I was offended. But I like that city has a good sense of humor.

There’s actually quite a number of places to eat in downtown Portland. I met up with T at Kenny & Zuke’s for lunch. It’s a jewish style deli, so you know, they make deli sandwiches with deli meat! The place is fairly new, very open, and bigger than you’d think a deli would be. It’s bright and inviting.
The deli cobb salad, with pastrami (!), chicken, avocado, tomato, egg, and of course lettuce. Seriously folks, this pastrami was so good. So tender and not super salty.To continue with the meat theme, pastrami cheese fries. Oh my word, there’s nothing healthy about this at all. Potatoes, cheese, cured meat, what’s not to like? Service was super friendly. The place was completely packed for lunch. When we asked our server exactly what pastrami was, he actually knew and was happy to tell us. If you like deli meats, this is definitely the place for you.
