A winter's meal
K, I guess the snow confirmed it. Winter is
officially here. Nothing to do but acquiesce
and eat soup and crusty bread, winter’s offi
cial meal. In case you’re getting cabin fever
already, you can actually go out to feel cozy
among your fellow foul weather sufferers. Here
are a few of my favorite warm-up spots.
O
Ken’s Artisan Bakery •
338 N.W. 21st Awe.
o, your Ken doll of yore hasn’t suddenly
gone culinary. Rather, the Ken behind the
most in-demand bread in Portland, Ken
Forkish, is a bread crafter with a vision. As his
Web site states, “We believe strongly in giving
people alternatives to homogenized, mass-
produced foods that have no soul.” The soul
radiates from the (very high) roof beams in this
open, casual cafe and bakery. The bread really
is exquisite. Try it with one of their homemade
daily special soups—the cream of spinach is
thick and savory and clearly made with fresh
spinach. Afterward try one of the little choco
late or coffee éclairs—so divine they’ll make
you think all sorts of sacrilegious thoughts.
N
Daily Café ia D m Pearl •
902 N.lf. 13 th Ave.
here are usually two daily soup specials here
along with a creative list of freshly made
sandwiches. Join the roomful of art stu
dents and their someday patrons—all wearing
similarly colorful rimmed eyeglasses—in this
lunchtime hot spot. Go for the $5.95 soup and
half sandwich special. I had kale, white bean
and sausage soup with a hummus bolo roll
sandwich. My dining companion, Kristin,
chose soup of cheddar, broccoli and roasted
potatoes—chunky, spicy and delicious. Appar
ently her dessert matched the decadence of the
homemade chocolate chip espresso cookie I
chose. Says Kristin, “The chocolate cream
cheese cupcake was heavenly.” Now there’s a
woman with good taste!
T
Grand Central Bakery •
Various locations
o you see the theme emerging? Where you
find great bread, so, too, shall you
encounter great soup. They go together
like butch and femme. At this eatery, found in
the Irvington, Multnomah, Hawthorne and
downtown districts, that might mean pairing
up the hacon-cheddar Tosti (a Grand Central
specialty) with the potato leek soup. The
combo also works for femme and femme, in
which case I would suggest the basil egg salad
sandwich with a cup of the daily veggie soup.
And for you butch/butch pairs, go all out with
the Jawbreaker salami sandwich and a full Kiwi
of spicy black bean chicken soup. Would that
such harmony existed elsewhere in the world!
