Work was super busy today but it's been fun handling the rush from the holiday weekend. I'm hoping it's still busy tomorrow because it's not as much fun being at work when it's slow. Bree picked me up after work and we met Eddie at the house to decide on our dinner plans. We finally settled on
Salvador Molly's which we had heard about from
Man Vs. Food. We started with a round of yummy cocktails and some appetizers. I was able to convince the bartender to let me order the mac n cheese from the kid's menu. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. I personally prefer Kraft's blue box special to the plate I had tonight. But is it really fair to judge a restaurant based on one of their kid's meals? Besides, when I make the blue box special at home, it's not garnished with a cute umbrella. :-)
Bree had a few things she wanted to see in Portland so we drove around to find them after dinner. Most of the fun stuff was by the
Tom McCall Waterfront Park. We saw the
world's smallest park, the
lights on the Morrison Bridge, and the
neon rose. We also snapped a few fun photos in front of one of the fountains. We spent the rest of the night driving around Portland in search of the fun Portland sign at the
Arlene Schnitzer Hall. Of course when we found it, the lights were off. But we still had a good time driving around.
Then we finished the evening at home watching TV. Thanks to Netflix we were able to watch Adam Richman's
Man Vs. Food episode in Portland (season 1). It was fun to watch him visit Voodoo Doughnuts and Salvador Molly's - two establishments we have visited in the past 24 hours. Now after having eaten at the restaurant and watching this episode, Eddie is convinced he could pass the eating challenge at Salvador Molly's.
