The Best Restaurants and Bars in Portland’s Foster-Powell - Eater Portland
"Bodega culture in Portland isn’t nearly on the same level as places like New York City, but this neighborhood market and sub shop brings some of that mom-and-pop spirit to the city (sans a bodega cat, unfortunately). The sandwich counter stacks ingredients into subs like the Waste Management (roast beef, arugula, provolone, Mama Lil’s Peppers, garlic sauce) and the NYC staple Chopped Cheese (ground beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, served hot). In addition to the requisite corner store snacks and drinks, Bodega has a grab-and-go cooler full of items like chicken noodle soup, hummus, and deli salads. House-made treats like cookies, rocky road brownies, and baklava are unmissable in a counter case at checkout." - Nathan Williams, Janey Wong
