Portland Monthly (on line)

Bunk Sandwiches’ pork belly cubano just might change your life.
Posted by: Karen Brooks on Jan 12, 2011 at 10:45AM

Not your average Cuban sandwich…

When is a classic something more than tradition and the personal poetry of taste memory? When it’s pushed to something greater—still recognizable but with a fresh stamp, a reworking that pushes texture in unexpected ways or adds a taste to record in the mouth’s hall of fame.

That’s the only way to describe the Pork Belly Cubano, a devilish spin on the Cuban workingman’s ham and cheese, at Bunk Sandwiches and Bunk Bar.

The sandwich got its 15-minutes of food-porn fame on the Food Channel’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” this past Sunday. Dimpled, bearded host Chris Cosentino boisterously called it “way, way better” than a regular Cubano. Even by hyped-up Food Channel standards, he’s not exaggerating.

Portland Value's (in one top ten report)

Metrovino’s Seafood Chowder: True, I first encountered this sensational soup in 2009, but I return periodically to slurp of its goodness and fortify my ravaged soul. Fatty smoked bacon adrift in a sea of oysters, clams, tuna, and halibut for $5. Why aren’t you eating it now?

Miho Izakaya For sheer menu audacity, I have to give it up for the little Japanese pub on N Interstate. The ingredients are always cracking fresh, and the 25 or so small-plate offerings ($2-10) are not only uniformly tasty, but extremely interesting to boot. The slow-cooked pork, spicy noodles, and beguiling fish entrees will reel you in and turn you into a homing pigeon for this coop.

(S/E have you eaten at Red Onion Thai Cuisine??)

High and low points so far: Catalan (Houston) for dinner on Christmas Eve. Pre-cooked bacon for breakfast on Christmas day. I'll let you guess which was which.
