Mmmmmm. Another great Portland restaurant..... Le Pigeon

YUM! I was finally able to try Le Pigeon, a new(er) Portland restaurant on E Burnside and 7th that has been very well received by Portlanders and food critics alike. This small new restaurant has already been written up by New York Times food editors, and was packed to the brim even on a Monday night at 10pm - for good reason.

It's SO GOOD!

I enjoyed a foie gras appetizer which was finished with some cherries and a sweet cherry sauce, and then had a main course of Beef Cheek Bourguignon. This is food that makes you take a deep breath and sit back in your chair. Also, the space is pretty fun. Seating is communal, so you'll share your table with other Portlanders and visitors. The kitchen is open to the dining area, and if you sit at the bar, you'll get to see the chefs in action. Take a trip, I promise you'll be glad you did. (Take me with you!! :) )

New Year, New Outlook..

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I'm Blake Ellis, and I am a Broker at Re/Max equity group in Lake Oswego, OR. For the past 2.5 years, I've had the pleasure of helping buyers and sellers find homes in the Portland, Oregon market.
This past year has been a year of ups and downs. Fears about financing, the credit crunch, and high inventories of homes across the nation have added to an interesting work climate for me. I've found a HUGE part of my job description to be an educator to my clients - from weekly updates for my sellers to size up their competition to researching available properties for Buyers looking for a home - I'm striving to create educated clients so that the whole process is smooth for everyone - including me.
This blog is part of my focus for 2008 - educating both current and future Portlanders about the great options available to them.
