Took a spontaneous weekend trip to Portland and really enjoyed it. The food trucks, the coffee, parks, markets, art, laid back vibe. It's another place I can see myself living

Dulce de Leche with Hazelnut at Blue Star Donuts..incredible. They use a brioche recipe and glaze the donuts to order. Makes a huge difference and I'd put this among my favorites

Don't trust the Voodoo Donuts hype..Travel Channel had me excited about these for years..mediocre

Across from the food trucks at Alder St with the Blue Star hard apple cider donut...mmmmm

Stumptown cappuccino

Bumble berry pie at Petunia's. NYT recommended this..not very good

Handmade spicy noodles with chicken and vegetables from The Noodle House food cart

Porchetta sandwich from The People's Pig food truck. Not the best

Cannelé from St Honoré. Hadn't tried one until this trip and wow...Hard caramelized outside with a custardy inside. Vanilla and rum flavors throughout

Oreo peanut butter chocolate at Voodoo Donuts..not very good. Maybe one notch above supermarket donuts

Hard Apple Cider Fritter from Blue Star Donuts- top 2 apple fritters I've tasted. The textures were especially great

Maple bacon at Voodoo- anyone can put maple icing and bacon on fried dough and it'll be kind of good

Blueberry Blackberry Scone from Nuvrei. One of the better scones I've had. Tasted like half scone & half buttermilk biscuit with amazing berries throughout

Looks simple but so, so tasty. Chicken & rice with a spicy garlic ginger sauce from Khao Man Gai food truck. I'd go a few times a week if I lived in Portland

Blueberry cheesecake waffle from The Waffle Window

Bi Bim Bap from Taste of Korea food truck. Pretty good for 2am

Saint Honoré from St Honoré. That's 3 cream puffs attached by whipped cream on top of a soft pastry with custardy filling...the cannelé was much better
