About this episode
Portland loves brunch so much it has its own “Portlandia” skit . Our brunch scene was once mighty and line-worthy, but then the pandemic hit, and many of our favorite spots closed. Still, Oregonian food writer (and self-proclaimed king of brunch) Michael Russell says a brunching renaissance is afoot . He’s sharing some of his new (and old) favorite spots in town to inspire us all to get back out there and Make Portland Brunch Again. Brunches discussed in this episode: The Original Pancake House The Woodsman Tavern HK Cafe Pure Spice Hà VL Lazy Susan Toki Screen Door Matt’s BBQ Tacos Grits N’ Gravy Fair Weather (RIP) We’re doing a listener survey so we can make City Cast Portland an even better, more useful podcast for you.
