 Gabriel Slimp serves his barbecued meats just as God and man intended: naked (with sauce on the side). You want to pay attention to how his brisket and ribs turn out, with their shiny black crust, red smoke ring just underneath, and tender but not mushy flesh, with all the fat and collagen...

 With its Spanglish name and Small World approach to Mexican cookery -- the menu spans nearly every Mexican region, so patrons can craft a meal of Oaxacan moles, Michoacan pork and Jaliscan shrimp saturated with cream -- Senor Moose is likely to give purists pause. But if eaters are capable of... More >> |

In its new incarnation, 418 is a simple, open and relaxing spot, in large part thanks... More >> |

 Juan Valdez can suck it! This coffeehouse cares about its bean farmers so much they only use fair-trade beans from Stumptown and Intelligensia roasters.
