Just got word last night — and confirmed this morning on their Facebook page — that Blues City Biscuits is back in business, as of tomorrow. They have changed owners and locations, with a soft opening at Good Food Here at SE 43rd and Belmont Street set for Thursday the 28th. Real opening is Friday, [...]
Breakfast Restaurant News
Downtown Portland seems to be the epicenter of a breakfast and brunch explosion these days. First Morning Star will be replaced by Hatch as of this Friday, then Sugar Mamma’s says they will re-open the same day, then Tasty N Alder opens to much fanfare (I visited on opening day), then the Brunch Box cart [...]
Tasty, Sugar, Oven — that was my scribbled note to remind myself of Portland breakfast news I need to post about. I thought that was kinda funny. So … Tasty N Alder is finally open, so let the media frenzy end and the eating begin. I went there on opening day, and here’s what it [...]
There have been two great pieces of machinery at work lately in downtown Portland. One is the growing empire of one John Gorham, owner of Toro Bravo and co-founder of two of the best brunches in Portland: Simpatica and Tasty N Sons. Gorham got a place downtown and announced plans to open Tasty N Alder, basically [...]
Just a scattershot review of new from the Portland breakfast scene, from various sources: Sugar Mama’s Cafe tweeted that they are re-opening at 320 SW Alder (no date given). This is good news and bad. I love their cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy, but they will be right across the street from Breakfast Empire [...]

Portland brunch lovers celebrate! Soon we will have another way to get at the oh-so-fine cooking of Tasty N Sons. That’s because, as of February 6, we will also have Tasty N Alder in downtown Portland, at 580 SW 12th Ave. Portland Monthly has some of the details: Think brunch meets steakhouse and a million [...]
On Friday, January 25, I will be appearing as a “celebrity guest” on Late Night Action With Alex Falcone, a kind of “Tonight Show” deal with a monologue, comedy sketches, a band and then guests. From their website: Late Night Action is an original live talk show that features local guests, celebrities, personalities, bands, comics, and more. [...]
Once again my creaky writing machinery has cranked out a Breakfast Bulletin, filled in this case with news about the new PaulGerald.com, some Portland breakfast place reviews, and a way to win some free signed books. Read all about it! Keep up with all the Portland breakfast news by subscribing to my Breakfast Bulletin, liking my Facebook page, or following [...]
Looks like we downtown Portland breakfast eaters won’t have to wait long to get back to equilibrium. Walking around my work neighborhood, I spotted this piece of news on the window of the former Morning Star Cafe, SW 3rd and Morrison: I dug around on the Facebook page for Killer Burger, and found out they intend [...]
