My Poor Liver

After a summer hiatus the boys are back!  Tonight we are drinking some ugly concoction from Absolut that pairs vodka with white wine and carbonation. One hell of a headache follows.  Remember kids, we do this so you don't have to!   Neil also has been on a tear through the city of Portland with a spectacular showing at hot spot Ox.

This week we cool you down with a couple of cocktails featuring fresh watermelon and a lot of off topic chatter.

This week, Eddie and Neil finish up our trip to south of the border libations.  Mezcal and Soltol are on the menu and we learn all about them.  Also - Drink of the week!  The Spanish Harlem (which I found out, I did not invent).

This week Eddie and Neil are back in the same town, at least for a moment.  We check out Thai Garden Thai Cart (Cart Pod at SE 102nd and Stark. Watch out for stray bullets!), Multnomah Whiskey Library and an amazing Tequila tasting at Mi Mero Mole by the tequila guru himself, Paublo Portilla.   Check out pics and tasting notes at www.mypoorliver.com

This week we muse on our being separated by several states, Tiki Bars, The Grand Canyon, and some tasty Tex-Mex food.

Episode 31: Mediterranean Fever

This week Eddie and Neil are still coming at you from both Portland, Oregon and Chandler, Arizona!  This week the boys announce the upcoming trip to Vegas were Neil will drag Eddie and Mike to just about every Southeast Asian restaurant in town!

The boys also dish on the authentic East Portland Hot Pot restaurant Chongquing Huo Guo (http://www.wweek.com/portland/mobile/articles/articleView/id:23497/current_page:), the amazing books Cocktails On Tap by Jacob Grier (http://www.amazon.com/Cocktails-Tap-Mixing-Spirits-Beer/dp/1617691429) and Irreverent Insider Guide: Portland, Oregon by Steve McCall. (http://www.amazon.com/Irreverent-Insider-Guide-Portland-Oregon-ebook/dp/B00TECPZZU/ref=sr_1_8?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1423519723&sr=1-8&keywords=portland+oregon+travel+guide)

Cocktail of the week: A twist on the classic GinTonic made with Farigoule (http://www.jacobgrier.com/blog/archives/2388.html).

This week Eddie and Neil are taking it virtual!  Eddie is now in Arizona for a bit and Neil is still in Portland.  We've figured it out and are now recording from two time zones!  Eddie and Neil get caught up and Neil takes us on a tour of all kinds of spots he's been checking out.  He's been rocking it at Pinky's Pizza, North Light, Interurban, Donnie Vegas and ready to check out the new delivery service Caviar.

In which Kyle get's the whiskey blues

Episode 27, in which Eddie and Neil wind down after a long weekend of Neil eating like crazy. This episode he reviews The Kitchen on Court in Salem, Oregon.  We also tear up Yelp, and publicly shame some ridiculous reviews.
