With a well seasoned meal, you can actually taste the care and passion in the food. It annoys me to go out to a restaurant, pay for food where I am expected to season it. Show me what your vision is! Anyway - another outstanding well seasoned and flavorsome meal! Thanks!

We've been fans of Collective Market for a while, especially because the staff is always friendly…read moreand welcoming -- they really are the highlight here. Unfortunately, the food quality hasn't kept up with the price point lately. My wife ordered the Bodega Egg & Cheese, and it was disappointing -- the cheese tasted like a basic Kraft single, which really took away from the experience, especially paired with a bagel that didn't elevate it at all. For the price, we expected something more thoughtful and higher quality. The space itself feels like it's still figuring out its identity. "Collective Market" suggests something cohesive, but inside it feels more like a collection of random items -- though to be fair, the wine bottle selection is solid. We love the vibe this place could have, and we really want to keep supporting it. We just hope to see more care and attention go into the food and overall direction -- especially considering how great their sister location, Decadent Creations Bakery, is.

Don't get me wrong, but masks are still encouraged.  But let's FORGET about that and 2020 all together.  I'm here to talk about what's goin' on in Slabtown! The Slabtown Outdoor Market has opened up!  And thus far, per their website, the market will be held on the Second Sunday of each month starting: ~ July 11th, August 8th, and Sept 12th. ~ Assuming the following months are TBD. Hours:  11am - 6pm As for walking around and checking out the vendors, I've seen everything from artwork, to beer, clothing, from healing to ice cream and soaps, and even fresh veggies and vegan creations.  I counted at least 30 different vendors and SAMPLES!  YES, some of them had samples.  Its good supporting locals and trying out their products.  Honestly, I wish there were more farmers. I mean, it is a market, but I guess it's not a "farmer's market".   I gotta add that I was most impressed with someone selling cast iron grills; I mean wow, who would've expect this tent. As well as the Nova Rose Knots lady and her macrame items, very creative.  We found new flavor drinks from the GT's Synergy Kombucha Co, and the girl helping us was awesome. I enjoyed Breakside Brewery and a couple of their refreshing brews.  Fifty Licks had some tasty ice cream, and the Cold Brew Coffee crew were fun to chat with.  Most of the vendors seemed pretty upbeat and ready to serve.  Its gotta be this lovely Portland weather as of recent.  Unfortunately I really hate to add this, but there was a lack of trash cans. I was gonna reduce a star, but I'm sure that'll be addressed. Or else the end result will be trash everywhere. Hope the organizers take note of this. Regardless, check out this little market while you can!

At Portland's Elephant Ears they use Bob Red Mills flour for the dough and it makes a huge difference! Their ears are chewy not crisp, the way it should be. They are made fresh to order so you get yours piping hot with whatever topping you choose. The classic - cinnamon & sugar - is the only one I get. For $5 it's big enough to share, but sometimes I eat half and save half for later! No trip to the Saturday Market is complete without stopping here for a delicious Elephant Ear, I mean what's not to love about fried dough?Sometimes, it's the reason I go to the market! This was the first weekend for the Market in 2020, and yes I went, and yes, I headed straight for my Elephant Ear. Yum!

I also love that small independent businesses have a unique opportunity to display their unique items. Love that there's usually free kombucha too!!! I do have a couple comments though, on things that I wish were different: It was difficult to find nice vintage clothes in an overwhelming sea of streetwear. It would be nice if the coordinators moderated so there would be more variety in style. Streetwear has its place in the vintage world, but it kind of took over the PDX vintage market so it was a TON of T-shirt's, jeans, baseball caps and jerseys. I counted at least 36 streetwear booths that looked nearly identical. Hard to find unique pieces in a variety of trends & styles from different fashion eras. (20's all the way to 80's fashion was lacking) I also wish they would play amplified sound from one location instead of letting all the vendors play whatever music they want, because you end up walking through a crossfire of 20 songs playing at once. Regardless of these things I would still return; just hoping that feedback helps!

I'm nearly done with my second year with this CSA and only have good things to say about 47th…read moreAvenue Farms. The price point is a little higher then some other CSAs but the bounty of high quality produce each week easily justifies the cost. This season I paid $540 for a half share; at 24 weeks (much longer then some CSAs!) it comes to $22.50/week. The return is around 10 different items per week. As an omnivore household of two, it is a lot of veggies to get through per week! This year the lettuces, cucumbers, and carrots have been remarkable. We've had some form of garlic and onion almost every week and have had beautiful dill, basil, and cilantro throughout the season. We are just now hunkering into juicy red tomatoes and sweet corn. 47th Avenue Farms has me covered on all my veg needs and makes it so my grocery store trips are quite minimal. The produce is fresh enough that nothing spoils within the week and , if I can't finish something one week, it is still good the next week too. At the weekly pick up, you bring in your own bags and pick out your share. Next to each item is a sign with the quantity you are supposed to take and you get to pick the stuff that looks good to you! Laura and her staff are around to chat with and they seem to do at least one farm party day each season. I appreciate the weekly recipe packet which is full of not only recipes, but also tidbits about how to prepare some of the less common veggies (I totally needed the help with the fava beans). The only thing this CSA is missing is the occasional fruit but with all of the farmers markets around Portland, I can still get what I need.

I have a half share...this season it costs $540, so it's a bit of a chunk to come up with. But wowie zowie!!!! it is worth every penny. And this season, Laura worked out a payment plan with me, so that the cost is spread out over time. Veggie pick up is every week in the Summer, and every other week in the Winter. Here is how they do it: A long table is set up under an awning. both sides of the table are decked with the same selection of boxes. Each of those boxes contains its own particular delicacy. We bring our own bags, and load 'em up. The quantity we are to take is posted on each box, and it works on the honor system. (I have only cheated once, and only by a little...OH! fingerling potatoes, you made a cheat out of me!!) Can you say FRESH? I first realized how UN-fresh grocery store vegetables are by the shelf-life of Laura's vegetables. Tonight I made some kale that I got from a pick-up 2 weeks ago. It is still crisp, dark green and very yummy. Another thing? She offers veggies I would never buy in the store. So along with your normal staples like broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, etc, you also get...Rutabaga? Celeriac? WTF is this shit? I'll tell ya what it is: IT'S FUN! I love trying new veggies I've never tried before, and lest you think those super-cute helpers behind the table are just there to reload the boxes, think again! They know a lot about the food being grown, including how to cook it. Did you know that parsnips are good thin-cut and fried? Neither did I. :) Oh, and I have a new love...something I've never seen in the store, they are long skinny, bright red and super sweet peppers. OH THE JOY!!! This place is a total win!
