As much digital ink gets spilled for Portland's hottest restaurants and bars, it's often in service of rehashing, reiterating, and reinforcing what patrons already know or have read elsewhere: Yes, Nosh's bacon-dusted fries are good. Of course Novare Res has a killer beer selection. But even a relatively small and picked-over menu, like that at Duckfat, can hide gems. Here, we shine a light on five items that we feel have been missed at some of Portland's most talked-about locales.
Naturally, we want to hear from readers, too: Is there an underrated menu item at a popular restaurant (whether in Portland or elsewhere in the state) that you cherish? If you don't talk it up, it might disappear. Case in point: Blue Rooster's Red Eye breakfast sandwich (described by Meredith Goad as "'somebody slap me' good"), which co-owner Ilma Lopez says disappeared because the sandwich's limited success wasn't worth the work it took to prep the housemade ingredients each morning.
