I heard on the down-low that McMenamin's Hotel Oregon recently hired a new chef and sous-chef.
Of course "the down low," means "post it on the internet as soon as you get around to it." If it wasn't a secret, I would've put something up immediately. So you see my journalistic credentials are still extant, only pronounced with a Swedish "j."
Well... that explains the consistently good fries for the last month, the sudden appearance of gorgonzola pear pizza on the specials (soon to be regular) menu, and the fantastically tasty portobello mushroom sandwiches!
The Hotel Oregon's menu is going to change this week, way for the better. I'd say "you heard it here first," but it's probably on the McMenamin's website...
If this chef stays, and stays focused, things are going to be a lot different, and I'm going to be a lot happier. That gorgonzola pear pizza is really good. I even eat the crust.
Caveat: we entirely eat vegetarian food at home, I eat mostly vegetarian out, and we value different things in a dining experience than you do, so your gastronomic mileage may vary.
I think it's a harbinger of the good things to come with the Obama administration.

I had some salty pasta at the Kennedy School the other night. It just tasted like salt. I ate half. You look at me, you know I don't leave food.
Garden burger, portobello mushroom sandwich, pizza; all good choices. Pasta... maybe not. Angelina said "I could've told you that!"
Yes, but you didn't!
