Brewers Burger Brawl!

August 19th-28th is the first ever PDX Beer Week. There's almost nothing better than beer and hamburgers so we're happy to note that there will be a brewers burger brawl. Five local brewers from Upright, Hopworks, Burnside Brewing, Laurelwood, and Breakside Brewing will step up to the grill to create a burger and pair it with one of their beers. There will be bistro sized burgers for attendees to sample and then vote for their favorite.

So many bonus pickles!

I know this has nothing to do with hamburgers but if you haven't noticed we sure do love pickles. This Saturday, July 23, Kenny and Zuke's NW Sandwichworks location is having a block party and their first Pickle Throwndown. Lots of great local restaurants will be competing in four categories: classic cucumber, sweet pickles, not involving a cucumber and Portland weird. The event will happening from noon-6pm and entry is $5(benefitting the Oregon Food Bank). If pickles aren't enough, there will be BBQ and beer available as well.
