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
