(---------------- Dinner on a dime By Jim McCaffrey Of The Print I am a lousy eater. I know this because, at the mo ment, I am sitting down to a dinner of white rice, corn and a big piece of vanilla birthday cake with inch-thick frosting and lemon filling. This has been my diet for about two weeks now, except that I usually eat cookies in stead of cake. I suppose I should be ashamed of myself, but when I sit down to eat I only care that the meal does n't smell or taste too bad and then I am reasonably happy. So, as you can see, sending me to do a restaurant review is like sending a monkey to re review a ballet-whetheror not the monkey will write a good review may not really have anything to do with how good the performance was. For this reason my criter- ias for judging a restaurant are slightly different than many. First of all, my financial situation does not allow me to go out for a nice dinner in a good restaurant very often, if at all. Therefore, I will usually try to find a place that serves good food at fairly In review decent prices. Particularly when with a date, it is hard to find nice places that serve well and inexpensively. For myself, I prefer to find the single place where I might eat a meal with my date in a nice atmosphere, where I might also be able to buy a pitcher of beer to help and still find that the bill comes to less than $10. This $10 is about what I can afford on a tight budget. For these reasons I would like to suggest a few of my favor ite taverns that seem to meet my own unique standards of quality. The Dandelion Pub, in the Uptown Shopping Center, 31 N.W. 23rd Place just off Burnside in Portland, is a fine, example of a tavern with better than average food at good prices. The Dandelion is noted for its homemade soups made fresh daily and tasty sandwiches. I will as often as not order the cheese board, priced at about $2.50. This includes soup of the day, a small loaf of hot fresh bread and slices of fruit and cheese. Most sandwiches are similarly pric ed and will usually include melted cheese and a tasty sal ad to compliment the hot sandwich. The turkey and reuben sandwiches are my particular favorites because of their large delicious qualities. Budweiser, Lowenbran and Guiness Stout are the draft beers, but the menu includes a large selection of both for eign and domestic beers. If seafoods particularly strike your fancy, then I recommend going to one of the Pal's Shantys located at 11056 S.E. Main, Milwaulkie and 4630 N.E. Sandy Boule vard in Portland. Pal's is well-noted for their $2 buckets of steamed clams and for their outstanding shrimp and crab cocktails, which are served looking like strawberry sundaes in large parfait glasses stuffed to an overfill with large chunks of meat generously swirled with a tangy sauce. Pal's is also noted for the outstanding size of their sand wiches, which are huge e- enough to force many of the less hearty to ask for take home bags. All of the places provide agreeable background for in timate dining usually being set up to accomodate groups of two to six people at small tables and booths. Back ground music is usually con temporary jazz or easy listen ing rock or folk music which provides a casual and relaxed atmosphere for a quiet and leisurely meal. All are open every day of the week save Sunday and will usually serve until about 11 p.m. daily. Anarchy in the Paramount By Jim McCaffrey Of The Print I don't care what you call it-new wave or punk rock-- whatever, there is a resur gence of real rock and roll and Patti Smith is the siren whose voice and lyrics lead the new wave. Out she strode last Friday night at the Paramount Thea tre, swaggering and arrogant, looking every bit the tough New Jersey street kid she is. Whimsically, she started into a rendition of "You Light Up My Life". Wait. What? There's Patti breaking into rock and roll from her "Horses" album and she jumps into the audience and starts punching out peop le left and right. The crowd goes crazy. What's this? The band breaks into a jammin' set sans vocals and the lady is back in the audience throw ing chairs up on the stage. The woman is working hard to fill the place with complete havoc. Outrageous! There she was, a regular Robespierre, inciting the crowd into a frenzied may hem. Spitting her lyrics out to the crowd, challenging them, defying them to keep up with the higher and hi intensity of the music. ] Behind it ail wasanexfg ordinary band that was feble somehow to keep up with and increase the excitementlthij oughout.
