What a great day for food! I don’t take nearly enough advantage of the Portland brunch scene. All the restaurants are amazing for dinner, so why not brunch? I have been meaning for go to Byways Cafe for some time, but it’s tiny and the line’s always out the door – a sure sign of a great find. Blue corn pancakes. A large omelet selection. Next time I have to try the Amaretto French Toast.
And then there was dinner and a holiday party at Paragon. After such a large brunch, I wasn’t even hungry by dinner time, but I proceeded to eat everything put in front of me. Butternut squash tart with puff pastry and bacon (because bacon makes everything tastier). Salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and wild rice pilaf. Apple crisp for dessert. Too much small talk with people I only see once a year and too much food. I slept well… and woke up hungry.
