EXTRA GOSSIP. HOLD THE FRIES.

When burglars broke into Northwest Portland bake-haven Saint Cupcake at 4 am Valentine's Day morning, they bypassed a new laptop computer and a digital camera. What did they pinch? Baker/co-owner Jami Curl's personal PowerBook, two notebooks filled with her own handwritten recipes and 144 cupcakes earmarked for V-Day customers. Bastards. Was the sweet steal more about baking intel than bucks? "Well, they didn't take the 200 dollars that we had lying around in the open," muses Curl. "It all adds up to something that doesn't smell so good." Check out theories on who's behind the cupcake caper at www.portlandfoodanddrink.com. >> The Hungry Tiger, East Burnside Street's seminal dive bar, will soon pounce on a second location. Alan Cohen, who's run the Tiger for the past 21 years, let it slip that the Hungry Tiger Too will open at the Southeast 12th Avenue space most recently home to the upscale Buckman Grill this April. >> Northeast Broadway's Noodlehead has morphed into Meiji-En (a.k.a. Empire), a new Japanese joint that opened Feb. 14 from chef-owner Vincent Pham.

EXTRA GOSSIP. HOLD THE FRIES.The Saint Cupcake "crime" reeks of so much guerilla marketing. Are we sure this happened?Following your glowing review several weeks ago, we went to Saint Cupcake to pick up dessert for a dinner party. WW mentioned the place featured cupcakes (natch), brownies, cookies, cakes and other American-type sweets. We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and all they had were cupcakes, period. The cupcakes were quite pricey and not one of the four kinds we purchased was any different or better--culinarily or aesthetically--than what one might expect to find at a church bake sale. Overhyped, overpriced and underwhelming: a disturbingly common theme in Portland dining.—David R.
