Does a Korean all you can eat restaurant exist in Portland that will allow single people to sit at a grill?

What are some restaurants worth making a few hours drive or even an overnight trip too? I'm talking about everything from Seattle to Pendleton and Bend to the Coast or all the way down I-5 to Ashland/Medford.

I know Sebastino’s has cucumber Gazpacho on the menu right now. But where else should we be checking out while it’s in season?

What burgers are you looking forward to trying out next week?

For me it was Sarkura(?) with their teriyaki chicken.

Visiting Portland soon and staying in the north west (?) side of town off of N Mississippi Ave.

What's the late night (10pm or later) food options I have to check out?

Also what breweries in the area are making the best IPAs, Sours, or Barrel aged stouts?

I've seen the lists, know the players. I wanted to finally try Kaan, but it's unavailable. To help all y'all answer the question:

Some restaurants I like/love: Scotch Lodge, Canard, Laurelhurst Market, Clyde's, Ringside

Popular favorites I think are fine but overrated: Ox, Noble Rot, Ava Gene, Eem, Mucca Osteria

Notable ones I haven't tried but would: Kaan, Jacqueline, Coquine, Lechon, Nostrana, and whatever's behind door #3.

Restaurant has to have a full bar, that's a dealbreaker. No steakhouses because I already know those well. Geography unimportant.

I’ve never seen traditional Mexican street taco stands in Portland before. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but I was surprised to see them popping up. One on MLK & Ainsworth, another on Broadway and 33rd. If they’re new, what changed?

I’m talking about the Domed ones sitting on top on the new traffic light poles. Not the new speed cameras.

They’re a little overkill in quality to detect traffic to control the light changes.

In this era of over surveillance via Flock and Axon, I have to wonder how these are actually being used.

I have been using Namecheap since about 2008. Over the years I consolidated dozens of clients to them.

But since their acquisition by private equity last year, service has been dropping, prices are going up, customer service is getting worse, and their AI fraud tools are going wild locking long standing accounts that never had issues before.

West Virginia statehood day has me really missing it. I haven’t been able to get a decent one since leaving the state nearly 40 years ago. (Probably because the laws around baking meat into bread are kind of all over the place.)

Thanks for the recs!

For whatever definition "across town" means to you.

Are HELOC's still the best way (outside of cash,) to leverage a down payment on the next property?

I'm seeing a lot of spam about alternative programs... but they also look scammy. I used to have a lender that could help leverage that equity against the loan so there was no money out of my pocket, but it appears that has changed.

Background: I have two SFH with ADUs, with ~$100k equity each in them. I want to use that to get into an 8 unit MF/Commerical property down the street. I don't have 20% down in cash to make that happen. I am not interested in 1033ing the SFHs (yet,) because both have really good rates locked in.

I'm wondering if we have any micro-state restaurant offerings in Portland? Basically looking for food from tiny, underrepresented countries

I'd even settle for specific region cuisine from larger countries(Think India but South India or Bengal instead of generic)

I can not for the life of me keep the latest Windows 11 updates from blocking the app.

I've added it the exclusions list. I've even turned anti-virus off totally, and it keeps turning itself back on.

Anyone have any tips on this one?

As everything gets increasingly more expensive in PDX, what are your actually good go to cheap eats? Preferably under $10 tho I know that’s a feat.
