Portland recs:

Canard

Ha VL or Rose VL Deli

Matt’s bbq tacos

Eem

If you are driving to tillamook, Helvetia Tavern is a popular cheeseburger way stop. Haven’t been there in years though. Also newly opened out near tillamook is Smokehouse Chicken and Guns but I have not been (I think some of the people who run this also run Meat Cheese Bread, which makes my favorite bfast burrito and some of my fav sandwiches in Portland)

Great post. Thanks. My wife and I love Silom 12 in bucktown. The red curry is great, and the crab Rangoon is about as good as it gets.

Eathai is excellent, in Logan Sq. And Zoku has been open in Logan for years, has really good Thai as well as sushi, and offers late-night delivery.

Bodhi Thai, in Berwyn (?), has great soups and fresh vegetables. Their now-closed tiny second location in Pilsen was our go-to when we lived there.
