		<description><![CDATA[YOU try finding an equally inconvenient meeting place for a bunch of people who pretty much nail each corner of the greater Portland metro area.

The Oregon Glass Guild's Portland chapter leadership meets for dinner monthly, to catch up on state news, talk glass, figure out what we're going to do for the next batch of local meetings, talk glass, work out budgets, and talk glass. (It's nice to hang out with buddies who aren't bored to tears by glasstalk.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was hot, muggy (muggy in a Portland fall?), noisy and dark. There were plenty of places to sit but nothing that would accommodate five people. There were a few off-limit tables reserved for a birthday party, but the bulk of tables in this restaurant seemed to be made from old sewing machine trestle tables and would probably seat two.

In a pinch.

The service pretty much consisted of "get your food at that window, your drinks at the bar and stop bothering me." It's supposed to be haunted by the ghost of Nina. If she was our waitress, that would explain a lot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the front, Cafe Nell looked like a Volkswagen-stuffing contest, with folk obviously standing around waiting for a table.

I'm not sure how to characterize Cafe Nell--downhome northwestern Frenchish locavore nouvelle cooking?--but whatever it is, I like it. We got a kick out of the Sunday brunch bloody marys, which had three or four skewers of garnish apiece, from prawns to salami to olives. "It's a whole meal in a drink!" Sara marveled.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My colleague was doing Atkins, the low carb thing, and however tasty the bread, she couldn't eat it. So the chef braised some veggies, added a mild vinaigrette and served them as the classiest (and tastiest) crudites I've had in quite awhile.

So when my houseguests offered to take me to dinner, and asked for a "Portland local" place that had good veggies, I sent us to Wildwood.

Good choice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, listen, I LIKE cupcakes, don't get me wrong. What's not to like? They're cake. They're frosting. They're portable. Portion-controlled creamy-sweet goodness you can stick in a lunchbox. With sprinkles.

But...high-fashioned eats? The hautiest of haute cuisine?

C'maaaaaaaan. They're CUPCAKES, for heaven's sake. Yet I kid you not, there are at least three specialty cupcake shops in Portland, and more coming. Some of the best bakeries in town are pushing cupcakes as the wedding dessert of choice]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Now, don't you go writing about this in your blog," Dennis warned, "It's hard enough to get a table here as it is."

Ooops.

Dennis, Barbara, Kat and I took a break from prepping for the Oregon Glass Guild Fusathon* at Pause, a little taverny kinda restaurant on Interstate not too far from the Harbor Freight. I had my doubts, looking at the neighborhood, but Dennis said he frequently came all the way down from Vancouver just to eat a Pauseburger, so I kept my mouth shut and my mind open.

Good thing. It was outrageously delicious and about half the price of similar eats in the Pearl District.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[She stopped and turned beet red. "Wait a minute--you're not my friend! This is so embarrassing--you look like my friend and she drives the same kind of car...I'm sorry..."

"No problem," I said, and went on into Cassidy's, a restaurant that appears to have been a PDX fixture for maybe centuries (actually, since 1979). My friend Lyn waitressed there in college, had a hankering to see what the old place was up to and so we met at this old saloon-style restaurant for dinner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First thing I thought when I opened the 50 Plates menu: "Whoa! These guys have figured out how to charge $10.50 for a bowl of chili." Second thought: "It better be bloody good chili."

I didn't taste it, so I can't say. I can say that the other food's pretty good, the prices aren't and this is a restaurant that needs to make up its mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Say there's this BIG landslide, and the daycare center crashes into the organic restaurant, picks up speed and piles into IKEA. I think they'd call the result "Grandma Leeth's."

Robyn and I had a quiet dinner there the other night. It was quiet because, aside from the hostess and our waitress, we were the only signs of life in the place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I've got a coupon from the Chinook Book," said Robyn, and she read off a list of interesting-sounding restaurants. We decided to try Wild Abandon, mostly because of the name.

It was a pretty good choice. Wild Abandon is an unpretentious place with a friendly staff and a wall mural full of nudes in back. I guess the mural's the "wild abandon" part because otherwise it's a pretty typical Portland restaurant. They offer fresh-caught seafood dishes, lots of Italian, and also vegan and gluten-free options.]]></description>
