Portland + Rain = Kenny and Zook's

The BEST Reuben in the Pacific Northwest is at Kenny and Zook's on 11th and Stark in PDX.
It could hold it's own with Katz's.

First Course

Was watching a woman drinking from a 2 liter bottle of Mugg Root Beer on the bus the other day. Nothing terribly unusual with someone enjoying high fructose corn syrupy refreshment at 5:45am on the 358; after all it could be worse and who am I to judge?
Well actually I will judge...a pounder of any macro yello lager would have fewer calories and cause me to respect you more.

Why should I be respected? Who do I think I am? These are questions you will need to determine over time. I want to use this blog to share my observations, insight and humor with you and also be able to answer the 2 aforementioned questions for myself. You see I don't know who I am. I know where I started, where I've been and where I'd like to be but somehow along the way I lost the answer to how I will get there.

I grew up fat, got thin for a bit but then returned to the body I currently reside in. I wanted to be an artist, a genius and an icon. Instead I became a, for lack of a better word, cheeseman. I sell intentionally spoiled, bacteria laden milk; and do it really well.

I hope to share some great stories, recipes and a bit of an insiders guide to retailing. This is really a vehicle for me to gain insight into the steps I take in life. I hope you find something in these posts to put a smile on your face.
