i’ve had multiple people at #xoxofest tell me how much they like how i’ve built up my website and how they wish they could do something similar and… i think i’m actually feeling inspired to make that possible? i’ve been meaning to make the whole thing customizable and easier to run. is it time???

#portlandburgerweek stop 8: the Aloha burger!
a riff on their usual burger, this was a real saucy boi. it was good, but less flavorful than i thought it would be with longanisa as the meat. tbh, rhe adobo poutine completelt stole the show 😅

#portlandburgerweek stop 7: the bulgogi burger!
it didn’t look like much, but there was a lot of flavor hidden in there. nice sweet heat, good pickle balance, great sauce. solid contender.

#portlandburgerweek stop 6: the Crab Rangoon burger!
i love crab rangoon and i’ll be damned if it doesn’t work great on a burger. the fried wontons really save it from being what would otherwise be a mushy mess, though 😂

#portlandburgerweek stop 5: Curry-osity Killed the Burger
another great entry. reminiscent of the Pho Smash i had at lunch because of the five spice, but it diverges with a red curry sauce and chile/basil jam. this one is definitely in my top 3 so far!

#portlandburgerweek stop 4: the Pho Smash!! 🍲
Review: ok this one is DELISH. it really is the essence of pho distilled into a burger. the patty is cooked perfectly and the bone marrow mayo elevates the whole thing. smash indeed.
