Where we ate
Food is half of every trip for us. These are the places that earned a line in the notebook, including the ones we would skip.
Portland
From field note 01, June 2026.
Nong's Khao Man Gai
609 SE Ankeny. Thai chicken and rice, one thing done properly.
Lunch
Soro Soro
2250 E Burnside. The snow affogato. Coffee unlike any other.
Coffee
Tom's Fish and Chips
Cannon Beach. Order the local wild-caught sturgeon.
Coast
Coava Coffee
1015 SE Main. Go here first and go here twice. Beats Stumptown, and it is not close.
Coffee
Austin, coming next
Austin food guides are being split by neighbourhood and cuisine, one guide each, not one endless list. Until then, the eats are on Instagram.
