Tips on Brunching in Portland
Okay, we're back from a Portland jaunt, and we learned two brunch things: first, the portions at Gravy are enormous and you will only get halfway through them, so a side isn't necessary, no matter how delicious and fluffy a biscuit sounds. Second, even though the menu at the Doug Fir Lounge offers you a choice between spinach or ham on your eggs benedict, if you order spinach and ham, the staff says, "Sure!" and then there it is--a spinach and ham eggs benedict. Yeah, we know. We got all choked up, too.
