We Ranked Oregon’s 8 Best Burger Spots, And The Final Cut Might Surprise You

One burger in this state comes topped with peanut butter, raspberry sauce, bacon, and provolone. I had to read that menu line twice before I believed it. That same Oregon kitchen also works with meats like bison and kangaroo. Meanwhile, a coastal shack pairs grass-fed patties with pinball and pool. And a food truck makes its own buns, then sends you off with bread pudding.

Lower Willamette River Fishing Report and Forecast

Sturgeon last man standing, and it’s not all that good. Lower Willamette River Fishing Report – With coho on the ropes, not that they were ever off the ropes, anglers just have sturgeon to focus on. It can be a good fishery, but even sturgeon can be a bit finicky at times. Pro guide Stephen “Spicy” Gettel ( 503-999-0904) put in some time on Wednesday, fishing just 2 rods around the Milwaukie area for no bites. There were using prime bait, sand shrimp, even saw fish jumping and marking them on the screen, just not able to get them to bite. Even sturgeon can have an attitude some days of the week. Maybe they were observing Veteran’s Day too.

Oregon Has a Vietnamese Restaurant Where the Rice Noodles Are Made Fresh by Hand Every Morning

Most noodle soups in America start with a dried brick of rice noodles pulled from a box. One Portland kitchen skips that shortcut and leans into the slower, older way of doing things. The result is a dining room that fills up fast, a line that often reaches the door, and a menu built around the cooking of Northern Vietnam, a style that is surprisingly hard to find in the United States.
