Portland Palette

Spotted in SE Portland, OR during a three day whirlwind visit. If you’re in the hood, make it a point to check out Meat Bread Cheese.

14th at S, and at Sunset

This is one of my favorite pictures from the summer.

Between my office and all the places to eat and drink, I’ve spent a lot of time on 14th Street this summer. Business is booming – new restaurants opening, new buildings going up.

BBQ rampage

In Benin I ate very little meat and since getting back to the US I’ve been on an absolute BBQ rampage. So far I’ve been to Rockland’s BBQ in Georgetown, Hill Country in Chinatown, Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester, NY, and eaten from this BBQ bus at the Capitol Skyline Hotel. Oh, and I had some BBQ at Madam’s Organ in Adam’s Morgan. It’s starting to remind me of my road trip through the south last summer.

If you’re in DC you should check these guys out. They know BBQ, they’re on Twitter and they’re using some good tech to make ordering and paying a breeze.
