UPDATES Since the Book Came Out
BreakfastGuy on Dec 2nd 2008
Since the restaurant world is ever-changing, I figured I’d better post updates to the book. So here goes.
If you find more I should know about, get in touch.
Acadia is no longer serving brunch
Basta’s is no longer serving brunch
Biscuits closed their NE Sandy location and their NW 21st Ave. location.
Blossoming Lotus closed their Pearl location; the one in Irvington doesn’t do breakfast.
Country Cat Dinnerhouse now serves brunch daily, 9 to 2.
Daily Market and Cafe is now the New Deal Cafe, and they replaced the market with more seating.
Francis on Alberta closed.
Mississippi Station closed.
Pambiche is now serving breakfast 7 days a week!
Roux is closed. Long live Roux!
Skyline Restaurant now opens at 11 a.m. weekdays (no breakfast) and 8 on weekends (breakfast until 11 only).
Stepping Stone has expanded into the old barber shop next door
Virgo and Pisces closed.
I’m eating my way through the book… so far so good.
Some places good, but so far none better than my favorite that seemed to be missing: The Original Hotcake House on Powell near Milwaukie in SE.
Hmmm… in fact I’ll think I’ll head there for breakfast now.

Thanks, Bob! The Hotcake House is in there, just without the “Original.” One of the more entertaining chapters to write, in fact.
Word of warning: if you do, in fact, eat your way through the book, you’ll gain about 20 pounds. Trust me, I can prove it.
I’ve done 37 out of the 90 that remain after the closures listed. I first learned about the book at Sanborn’s, where I’m something of a regular. It’s still my favorite of the ones I’ve tried, although I plan to go back to several after I’ve worked my way through the entire book. This is my payday hobby for the foreseeable future.
Niki’s appears to only be open during the week now. I never see it open, but the phone number still works, and I only go past one weekends and fairly late in the evening.
Thanks, Judy! I love Sanborn’s, too. I never seem to get there often enough, though.
My husband and I are going though the book in order. We go to one restaurant a week so it will take us over 2 years! We are very excited and can’t get enough of this book! Thanks Paul for the entertainment!
