Portland Value's (in one top ten report)
Metrovino’s Seafood Chowder: True, I first encountered this sensational soup in 2009, but I return periodically to slurp of its goodness and fortify my ravaged soul. Fatty smoked bacon adrift in a sea of oysters, clams, tuna, and halibut for $5. Why aren’t you eating it now?
Miho Izakaya For sheer menu audacity, I have to give it up for the little Japanese pub on N Interstate. The ingredients are always cracking fresh, and the 25 or so small-plate offerings ($2-10) are not only uniformly tasty, but extremely interesting to boot. The slow-cooked pork, spicy noodles, and beguiling fish entrees will reel you in and turn you into a homing pigeon for this coop.
(S/E have you eaten at Red Onion Thai Cuisine??)

High and low points so far: Catalan (Houston) for dinner on Christmas Eve. Pre-cooked bacon for breakfast on Christmas day. I'll let you guess which was which.

Why foie gras in not unethical. Not sure everyone would agree, or that this closes the question, but from the best producers it's at least not as bad as you probably think. Phew.
