The Quintessential Restaurants and Bars in Northwest Portland’s Slabtown Neighborhood

"Top Chef: Portland alum Gabriel Pascuzzi recently reopened Stacked Sandwich Shop, in a shared space with the second location of his grain bowl spot Feel Good. Stacked returns with its greatest hits, including the popular oxtail French dip, smoked turkey Reuben, and turkey-bacon hero. New sandwiches, like the roasted pork coppa with provolone and the green curry fried chicken sandwich with fish sauce, are worth venturing away from the stalwarts, however. At Feel Good, customers choose from a variety of bases, including mixed greens, cauliflower rice, red quinoa, or brown rice, with add-ons like Ota tofu or Mary’s poached chicken breast. The bowls themselves are intricate and creative, like the Painted Hills with charred broccoli and pineapple, plus jalapeno cilantro vin." - Alex Frane, Maya MacEvoy
