Again, skip voodoo. Instead, hit up one of the Blue Star locations--there are at least two on the eastside, if you don't want to cross the river. They use local grains, eggs, and dairy, and organic ingredients for the glazes and fillings. Yes, they are gourmet donuts but they're totally worth it.

Please do yourself a HUGE favor and skip voodoo donuts--it's a ticky tacky tourist trap. In such a donut-rich mecca like Portland, there are many better options. Pip's fills the ultra-hipster, made-to-order donut niche that takes it to another level. And they have chai. And chai pops!

Greg and Gabby are now nationally renowned chefs and restauranteurs, but they are still down to earth and know their way around a grill. Pacific NW cuisine done in on a South American-style grill. Despite being an omnivore's dream--best steak in town (lots of the meat the grass-fed), Ox is also pescatarian and veg friendly.
