Cheap Eats 2008

When ownership of the Utopia Cafe changed hands at the beginning of 2007, many regulars worried that the popular Southeast Portland breakfast joint's food would suffer. They needn't have. Utopia's mainstay scrambles ($7.95) are still bursting with all things tasty, like the chorizo-laden Baja and the perennial partnering of bacon, avocado and tomato in the Bacavo. The sautéed potatoes remain herby and crusty, and the pancakes ($4.95 for a short stack) still make a fluffy, syrup-soaked, edible security blanket. (BP)
