Voodoo Doughnuts

Do you love doughnuts? I do but I try not to eat them all the time, which is why Voodoo Doughnuts is good for me because I have to travel to Portland in order to enjoy their fantastic doughnuts. They have 5 locations. The popular store to visit in Portland is downtown at 22 SW 3rd Ave. This is where all the buzz is and the lines. Keep in mind they’re open 24/7 except for some holidays. It’s my spot to hit if I fly into town late at night and the lines aren’t so bad.  I’ve also visited the store at 1501 NE Davis.

I didn’t notice any difference in the quality. Both locations make mouth watering fresh treats. I can’t believe how they practically melt in your mouth. I love the bacon maple bar and rasberry filled. But if you really wanna get your calories on,  try the banana fritter with chocolate and peanut butter. It’s huge and delicious. They seem to be coming up with new flavors and toppings all the time.

You see the big pink boxes all over town and even at the airport.  Yes, I’ve taken a dozen home in the past. Don’t forget to get some great coffee from Stumptown to go with your doughnut.

Little Big Burger

20150920_134635Just had a burger at little Big Burger on 10th in Portland Oregon. They have more than one location in Portland.

The menu is basic with burgers and fries, soda and beer. They do offer a veggie burger also. All burgers are cooked to order and worth the wait, which isn’t long. The patties are thick and flavorful. You choose your cheese. Now they aren’t big burgers but they will fill you. The burgers are about the size of an In n Out burger but with a thicker patty. The fries are awesome, kinda a cross with In n Out and McDonalds, but with truffle oil. And don’t forget the catchup and fry sauce. They also have a unique selection of beer by the can.

Prices on everything is reasonable. Oh and why not enjoy a root beer float for dessert.

Look them up next time you’re in Portland and feeling a hunger for a yummy little burger and truffle fries.20150920_13314820150920_13455520150920_132629
