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.

And a food truck makes its own buns, then sends you off with bread pudding.

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.

It’s been almost three decades since Ground Kontrol first lit up the city’s gaming scene; 22 years since it relocated to Old Town; and eight years since the hybrid bar-arcade doubled its footprint and launched the 7,000-square-foot flagship it flaunts today.
