Three Square Grill in Hillsdale, OR








Went to dinner with my daughter, Megan, at Three Square Grill in Hillsdale a suburb of Portland. It is very much a restaurant in the "slow food" tradition. The venue is small and intimate. Seems to be very much family run. The food is superb ! ! !

To start, we shared:
Potato-Leek Pancake with our Coho Salmon Lox + Cultured Creme Fraiche.
Spicy Garlic Fries with Habañero Salt and Malt Vinegar.
Fried Okra, Pickles + Hushpuppies with Jalapeño Jelly.

For dinner, I had:
Fried Catfish with Oyster, Shrimp + Crawfish Etoufée over Corn Grits and Collards.

And, Megan had:
Penne Pasta Baked with Chicken, Roast Tomato + Tiny Eggplant, Pesto and Tumalo Tomme.

They also make their own hot sauce. Both were tasty and the habenero one wasn't to hot.

Dungeness Crab Omelette






One of the joys of the Pacific Northwest is when Dungeness crab is plentiful and the price comes down to $2.99 / lb..... A favorite of mine is a Dungeness crab omelette. A generous amount of crab, basil and tomato make this dish fast, simple and delicious !

Tasty Halibut Wraps




Gosh, halibut sure has gotten expensive... so, to put some delicious leftovers to work I made these halibut wraps.
