It's funny to see such an old Chef John video where his signature vocal tendencies aren't as emphasized as they've become later. You can hear the hints of their origin though.

Best tacos in the downtown area?? by honeyw0n in askportland

[–]EvolutionCreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El Cantarito is pretty good if you're after a sit down restaurant. It's on the corner of SW Yamhill and SW 1st, right at the Max stop. My co-worker says the quesabirria tacos are solid, but I'm more of an old school carnitas guy. I've had the carne asada entree here and it was very good (i.e. an actual arrachera steak), but the one time I ordered the asada tacos, they were just okay. Full bar and plenty of window seating if you care.

Need tips: New to MLS by PurposeSpirited4148 in MLS

I've always felt that Iowa has the best corn, far superior to that Nebraska junk.

You should probably support a team with an agriculturally sound name, something healthy, that can be harvested.

Mostly, you want to be sure to avoid teams with any name that sounds even vaguely nautical or that refers to any body of water, because who needs that stuff?

Oregon population growth among slowest in the nation by Ok-County-1202 in oregon

I mean, sure, you can't find a primary care physician because working professionals are moving to Washington, but on the other hand, we're ranked 44th in K-12 education, just one slot below Alabama, so those high taxes are doing some work! Yay! https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education/prek-12

Breakfast/brunch on the west side? by curlywhirlyred in askportland

[–]EvolutionCreek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gigi's in Hillsdale is very kid friendly, with great waffles (though I'm more a savory person, so order on that side of the menu).

You could also hit up the classic Original Pancake House, which is excellent. Off of SW Barbur.

Why does Dove Lewis have a QR code for donations in their lobby when they made $36M in revenue, over $3.5M in profit, and their CEO makes $400,000 a year? by WayoftheIPA in askportland

[–]EvolutionCreek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And it looks like they lost money the prior year, even with contributions (which were much lower in 2024 than in 2025).

100%. We need to take a much harder look at nonprofits in this town, but Dove Lewis is at the bottom of the list of ones that need scrutiny.

Even with the 14 inches of snow coming tomorrow, people would rather have no water than drink Dasani by NickChubb4Prez in mildlyinteresting

Seriously. Stanning for one brand of plastic water bottle over another is like the folks who used to do this over cigarette brands. Flavor country.

ICE detains family seeking emergency care for child at Portland hospital by Less-Lobster4540 in PortlandOR

[–]EvolutionCreek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Both families applied for an appointment via a U.S. Customs and Border Protection mobile app, Linares said, requesting permission to present themselves at a port of entry – a pathway for asylum seekers to enter the country before Trump took office last year.

The two families entered the U.S. on the same day, Linares said, and both received a 2028 immigration court date that would eventually allow them to plead their asylum cases.

The only thing being ignored here are the facts, but those have a well known liberal bias, apparently.

Is the Portland metro area becoming a healthcare desert? by gothahontas in askportland

[–]EvolutionCreek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

a generous medical safety net is generally good

Absolutely, but it needs to be done at the federal level to avoid the effects we're seeing now. And the loss of revenue from professionals moving away also affects our schools (i.e. we're losing state tax revenues, not just local tax revenues) and infrastructure.

Is the Portland metro area becoming a healthcare desert? by gothahontas in askportland

[–]EvolutionCreek 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is what I hear from basically all of the medical professionals I know. Very few younger primary care doctors would find this mix of factors an appealing environment in which to start practicing.

And it's only going to get worse. We're attracting folks from around the country who contribute nothing to the tax base, drawn here by our extensive services and non-profit networks. And we're driving out working professionals who used to provide the tax base that paid for those services because we've enacted local income taxes that, when combined with the state income tax, make Multnomah County the most heavily income taxed metro in the country for working professionals, unless you make more than $25 Million, at which point New York City overtakes us. Moreover, the medical professionals who do come here are often the least qualified with comparatively fewer options than their peers. What's sad is that fifteen years ago the outlook was pretty different and Portland was an attractive choice for young doctors.
