New Restaurant in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District - 50 Plates

Portland, Oregon's Pearl District has another new restaurant - 50 Plates. Located on NW 13th and Flanders, this is an upscale take on classic American diner food. Lots of homestyle comfort food favorites and of course, the desserts. Dressed up versions of ho-ho's, snowballs, fried cherry pies and of course devil's food cake. We hosted a birthday dinner here for a friend this past week, and had a really good time. The space is low key, but dressed up, and the food was pretty good, too. I've been twice so far, and have tried their "mac and cheese and chicken and fennel" and their "po boy sandwich". Both were pretty good, but I'd say go for the mac and cheese!

Here's what the founders of the restaurant have to say about their place:"50 Plates is a restaurant showcasing the cuisine of the American tradition. Of memories – real or imagined – of grandmother’s pies, state fair fries, of date shakes and cheese steaks; a Kentucky bourbon fueled culinary road-trip beyond Route 66, from Smithfield Hams to Ipswich Clams. 50 Plates is the best of red states, blue plates, and everything in between."Take a trip to 50 states!
