"Ask a Portlander where to go after the bars close, chances are they will suggest the window-lined, counter-service diner The Original Hotcake House, in equal parts praise and derision. The question of, “If it’s open all day, every day, when do they get a chance to clean the grills,” should be put out of thought, and replaced with the question of “how many pancakes in the stack should I order?” The answer is four, with butter liberally applied." - Alex Frane, Mattie John Bamman
