My husband and I had an outstanding dining experience at Laurelhurst Market in Portland, OR this weekend. Laurelhurst features all natural, hormone free, antibiotic free meats and works with local farmers and food providers whenever possible. I have a handful of favorite restaurants in the city, but Laurelhurst has been on the top of my list for a while, not only because their food is so healthy and pleasurable,  but also because they consistently serve some uncommon items I like. Take a look:

• Marrow Bones with Toasted Soft Pretzel, Pickled Mustard Seeds
• Chicken Fried Veal Sweetbreads with Salsify Puree, Endive & Apple Salad, Maple Gastrique
• Shrimp & Grits with Pan Seared Scrapple, Braised Tasso, Cauliflower Chow Chow, Spring Shoots Salad
• Steak Tartare with Vodka, Chives, Shallot, Salt Cured Egg Yolk
• Mussels Frites with White Wine, Garlic, Pea Shoots, Herbs (more…)
