Review: January 2005 Archives

Got an impromptu tour of Veganopolis when a friend and I walked by on Saturday. We had just eaten, but wanted to see the prices and menu and while checking the place out we were invited inside.

The place looks really nice inside and they are serving everything cafeteria style! You pick up your tray and slide it along while choosing what you want, just like in junior high. They are going to serve breakfast and then have grilled sandwiches and stuff for lunch. Plus they are serving Stumptown coffee (yay!). They have an upstairs balcony seating area and some better people watching spots on the ground floor. I'm super excited to check out the food when they open on Monday.

While in the city of brotherly love last week I decided I needed to sample a legendary cheesesteak from Jim's on South Street. Luckily my good friend John B. Anderson knows how to select the perfect place, as shown in this video.

Unfortunately on the plane ride home from the east coast, I was left with few options and consumed this highly forgettable and barely edible thing. Since I need to erase this experience from memory, anyone up for a trip to Philadelphia's in Sellwood?
