My Poor Liver

Tonight we are LIVE! at The Bit House Saloon for the May The Forth Be With You party (Star Wars Day!) to benefit Dollar for Portland (dollarforportland.org).

 

Tonight we talk to Stormbreaker Brewing, William Oben repping Dollar for Portland, Tommy Habetz of Pizza Jerk/Bunk Empire/Every awesome amazing place you've loved in the last 10 years, a StormTrooper from the Cloud City Garrison of the 501st Legion, as well as Jesse Card of The Bit House Saloon.

 

This was an amazing night.

This week we are all over the place, nothing here or there.   May 4th, 2016 join us at the Bit House Saloon!

The boys are back from an extended hiatus. Hey, life get's in the way sometimes.  We are back in a bad way with tasting of new (at least to us) gin Hayman Old Tom and Royal Dock also from Hayman Distillers.  Neil also talks up the South Waterfront gem (no really, it's worth the trip) Muselet. Coquine and Pine Street Market also make an appearance.

This week Neil takes on the San Francisco and Oakland's best dim sum and dive bars.  Eddie discovers there is amazing food to be had in Scottsdale at Virtù and Woodford Reserve's barrel aged cherry bitters.

This week Eddie and Neil are finally in the same room together!  We start the night off at The Bit House Saloon and finish it off drinking some fantastic Vermouth's from one of our favorite wine/distillers Ransom. We also taste test Bitter Truth Elderberry Liquor and Famosinha Deminas Cachaça.

Detours are also taken to Pizzeria Otto, Kachka, and La Moule!

This is a fun one, y'all!

This week Eddie and Neil get all caught up, announce some heartbreaking news.  Cocktail of the weeks is inspired by the Black Manhattan featured on www.cookindineout.com using Banal instead of Italian Amaro.  We also talk Portland restaurants Ate Oh Ate, Roe, Taylor Railworks, Ott's special and Strubuck's devil worshipping non-Christian cups!

This week the boys are drinking a fantastic cocktail, The Knew Fashioned, coined by Reuben Gaeta, the bar master at D-Vine Bistro in Chandler Arizona.   Neil takes us through another trip to Vegas... this time hitting up crazy off-off-off-off The Strip places and we navel gaze about Eddie's return to Portland.

This week the boys take you to brand new mussel and frites spot La Moule, which is now one of Neil's favorite spots!

This week we bring you a "lost" episode recording in July 2015.  This week the boys bring you some amazing finds from the City of Portland as well as Phoenix, Arizona!  We cover an amazing rear wine made with the elusive Tintilla grape, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company, Earnest Restaurant in Chandler, Arizona, Portland spots nodoguro, Mae, Fenrir, and even a couple spots from across the Columbia in Vancouver, Washington, Khun Jo's and Taste of Sichuan!

This week Neil and Eddie are getting tipsy off some summer cooling takes on the classic Gin and Tonic.  The boys also talk about Neil's favorite new spot The Bit House Saloon and an amazing meal over at the new eastside spot Coquine.  Eddie gets ready to take his family to Disneyland and all the anxiety that comes with it.  We also hook up a listener with Chef Chris Starkus of Urban Farmer.  Chef hooked them up with a VIP experience they'll never forget!
