Bunk Sandwiches
Portland, OR
After that first bite of their seasoned pork belly combined with a slice of cured ham, melted Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, you'd think you just died and gone to heaven. (View Full Blog Post)

Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe
Emeryville, CA
From the moment we stepped through the front doors, we were in awe of its neon lighting and unique decor where original wall-art meets Barbie and Ken. But certainly what stood out the most, especially once our orders were taken, was the food. (View Full Blog Post)

San Francisco Creamery
Walnut Creek, CA
Inspired by the neighborhood dime stores and pharmacies that were popular throughout the San Francisco region in the 1930s and 1940s, The San Francisco Creamery Company takes a page from the past in its look and approach. Clean lines, deep colors, marble tabletops, and vintage accents highlight a rich Victorian-styled interior. And a playful staff keeps things lively whether sharing their own personal favorites made with the finest ingredients available or talking about, you guessed it, The Kitchen Sink.

The Crab Pot
Seattle, WA
Sampling the seafood of the Upper Northwest is not yet a requirement, but it should be. There's certainly enough of it to go around given Seattle's proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and there's certainly no shortage of places to go. During one of our visits, we followed a tip from friends and locals alike and stopped into the Crab Pot Restaurant and Bar, where they have been serving up some of the best seafood creations the city has to offer for over 30 years.

Voodoo Doughnuts
Portland, OR
The question is, "How do you do the voodoo that you do?" For Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson and Tres Shannon, owners of Portland's Voodoo Donuts, they would simply reply with "The magic is in the hole!" (View Full Blog Post)

Squeeze Inn
Sacramento, CA
When we heard that the current owner of the Squeeze Inn was closing the doors to its original location, we packed the kids into the car and quickly headed north on Fruitridge Road. I know what you're thinking, what's the big deal? (View Full Blog Post)

Dynamo Donut & Coffee
San Francisco, CA
Dynamo Donuts was created by Sara Spearin, and the idea came to her while on maternity leave. She notes, "I suddenly realized the importance of a well-crafted donut and the utter lack thereof in San Francisco." Motivated by the dream of owning her own bakery as an outlet to share delicious handmade and not-so-ordinary pastries, a it did not take long before Dynamo was born. (View Full Blog Post)

Auntie Em's Kitchen
Eagle Rock, CA
Auntie Em's Kitchen has been a regular dining spot for the surrounding community for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until recently that it's popularity (and reputation) grew beyond the borders of Eagle Rock, CA. (View Full Blog Post)

Randy's Donuts
Inglewood, CA
Located on the corner of Normandie and Manchester, Randy's Donuts was created in 1953 by donut machine salesman, Russell Wendell, as the second location in a chain of fast food service eateries he called The Big Donut Drive-In. He would go on to open as many as ten locations throughout the LA area, but only four others like Randy's Donuts still delight customers: Kindle's Donuts in Los Angeles, the Donut King II in Gardena, Dale's Donuts in Compton, and Bellflower Bagels in Bellflower.

The Oinkster
Eagle Rock, CA
To categorize The Oinkster as just another hamburger stand would be a great injustice, especially when they offer other choice selections such as the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Oinkster Pastrami. (View Full Blog Post)

Jim Denny's Hamburger and Chili
Sacramento, CA
To say that they are as big as saucers would be an understatement. Some have affectionately called them hubcaps, while others have referred to them as manhole covers. We simply call them decadent, delicious, and filling. What am I talking about? Why, the pancakes at Sacramento's own Jim-Denny's Hamburgers and Chili, of course! (View Full Blog Post)
