Lucky 1952 is right.
From the creatures of Mucho’s Gusto and Le Fina Taqueria comes another delicious concept of a restaurant, this time in the form of a 50’s Burger joint.
Just down the street from campus on 13th and Pearl sits a brightly lit restaurant.
If you pay close enough attention on the outside you will realize that the mural painted on the outer building that surrounds the restaurant matches the checkered tile flooring inside.
The menu is simple yet vast with the combinations of items you can achieve with the perfect order.
They offer garlic fries to substitute, rings too. Chili on the side…chili on your burger, chili on your fries, oh yeah chili on your hot dog….chili tops just about everything you can think of, and I don’t think its a bad thing.
Lots of toppings for your burger that is served on home baked egg rolls that are grilled prior to serving. Bacon, caramelized onions, mushrooms, a mushonion combo, bacon. And alll kinds of cheese, American, cheddar, Swiss, blue cheese, even pepper-jack.
The fries are hand cut and double fried in 100% canola oil. Oh yeah the beef is all organic and vegetarian fed and stuff for you animal people. You can even substitute your patty for a veggie if that’s your thing.
So besides having burgers, they have hot dogs as well, and chili in a bowl or cup. Its served with melted cheese, onions, green onion and a dolop of sour cream.
Don’t forget the shakes and ice cream with mix-in’s either.
It blew me away that the same people that can make us mexican slop can aslo craft such a lovely and delicious burger.
Go Dickies!!
Hopefully, we have all heard the buzz already about the dank-ass waffles down in the Whiteaker neighborhood. On 7th and Van Buren sits a delightfully charming new waffle house. They serve two waffles, the original or the special. They are amazing, and have little pockets of pure caramelized sugar gold. Secret recipe not included. Their weekly specials have included blueberries and feta and nib-tella, hazelnut spread made from Nib local chocolates. They also barter for payment and have a book exchange.
There’s another story just beyond the amazing waffles. The two sons are trying to start a movement for the spread of bartering. They want to create a social networking website, a hybrid of facebook and craigslist, for bartering where one person post what they are looking for and what they can offer. People can search databases and see what’s going on in their community.
So go to Off the Waffle and check the shit out!
Let’s just all get along, seriously. Poor Grace getting the flack for whatever those crazy newsies are trying to get out of this “strike.”
Were all brothers and sisters here in the J-school and we all hear about things in those labs that we spend our days and hard nights in.
So read our magezine and be our friends, not enemies because here at the OV we just want to have fun!
And produce quality hard-hitting journalism.
Nasal singing, check. Emo crowd, check. Feeling the music in your black heart check. The Mountain Goats at the WOW Hall was a relaxing evening for a warm Wednesday night. John Darnielle opened the set with a solo performance. As he ran up to the stage I hear a young boy in the crowd say “Here he comes!” I noticed this young man was also drawing with crayons the whole time to the music. The lyrics seemed to call the crowd to a stand still, literally.
“I’d like to ask my band to join me,” Danielle proclaimed. As the show continued, the crowd roared out requests, “ONIONS! COTTON! FREE BIRD!” Someone screamed, “Haven’t you heard of a set list!” The basest commented on the crowds requests including, “I want to have your babies.” His sweet banter and demur in his three piece suite reflected his tall and slim geeky persona.
If the Audience were all sitting, like many were, I think the narrative of The Mountain Goats lyrics would have seemed like an old age fable. My 10% Emo really felt like I was personally being sang to with songs like, “I’ll miss you when your gone.” The show seemed short, but sweet for that warm Wednesday night. The encore was by far the most enthusiastic performance. “This Year” was seventeen years young singing to all those angst high school kids and the nostalgic college students like me.
As I watched the Academy Awards post show, where common people get to ask the great directors and writers about their works I really got inspired by Diablo Cody. She is pretty punk rock for Hollywood and has some sweet bangs. A questioned was asked by a USC film student, how to become successful? Her answer was to spread your work everyone as many eyes that can see it, show it to them. She emphasized if you write a zine make everyone read it and I think we here at the Oregon Voice should seriously make it happen. We may be a little magazine, but I think we have a lot of heart in us. lets go team!
D-girl out.
