GENTLE READERS,
Oh, the news, it beckons. Little birdies do love to
twitter in Miss Dish's dainty little ear and whisper sweet
somethings. And Miss Dish does like to shout back.
And so it goes:
Lucy Brennan, a former longtime bartendress at Saucebox,
is opening in the new year a sure-to-be-hot spot called
Mint. The restaurant will focus on Latin American
cuisine and feature rum-infused drinks. The place to be
will be North Portland near the White Eagle, surely the
next Alberta-like hotspot on the radar. Another Saucebox
alum will head up the kitchen.
A CERTAIN GREEK GENTLEMAN HAS ASKED MISS DISH TO
DINE WITH HIM. SHOULD SHE GO? EMAIL HER AND LET HER KNOW!
Miss Dish does a weekly stint on KNRK radio Tuesday mornings
at 8:35 with the lovely Gustav and Daria. These two are
supposed to make fruitcakes, and Miss Dish is set
to judge. Email them both (gustav@knrk.com and daria@knrk.com)
with your advice on the fine art of fruitcake making.
Into the gentle night fled Jamie's Hamburgers on Northwest
23rd Avenue, and now, after a looong wait, it looks
like a new tenant is ready to open up. Andrew Smash
is a franchise that started in Eugene and has the claim
to fame that it offers Andy Burgers, which are meatless,
and baked potato wedges called Spuds (hmmm, creative). A
further theme ties this totally awesomely rad venture together:
The place is made up to resemble an old-school movie theater
(sorry, no auditorium seating here!) complete with "pineapple-topped
neoclassical columns and 3-D Smash characters." The fun
starts Thursday, Dec. 14.
This just in--now you can serve your family on disposable
dishware and not feel the least bit guilty about the way
you are carving away at this country's natural resources.
Some super-smart scientists have whipped up Enviro-wear
plates made from non-tree-based pulp that is biodegradable
within 100 days when discarded in compost piles. You can
find them at Albertson's, Zupan's and Food-4-Less. Almost
makes you want to break them like you do at a Greek restaurant.
Hmmm.
