Pork Belly Reuben @ Bunk Sandwiches in Portland, Oregon

Jan 3, 2010

 

My winter road trip takes me to Oregon where I visit the most spectacular waterfalls, lakes, and tasty delights. I've wanted to visit Oregon for quite some time as I have friends who moved to Oregon from California who absolutely love it there. As I drive through the towns and cities, I've met the friendliest and courteous Oregonians. I miss Oregon already and already planning my next trip up.

After visiting Multnomah Falls in the morrning, I was hungry and craving for something that'll hit the spot. That's where Bunk Sandwiches comes in. Located in downtown Portland just across the street from the Oregon Ballet Theatre on SE 7th Ave and SE Morrison St, Bunk Sandwiches is a small place that loves their bacon and it shows with their mouth-watering sandwiches. My friend and I just barely made it after the TomTom took us to a hospital. Luckily her GPS on her phone brought us to the right place at 621 SE Morrison St., Portland, Oregon

As soon as you enter the door there's a line of people waiting to order their food as well as people waiting for their food off to the side. What quickly draws your attention right away is the black chalk board menu. Right away, the Pork Belly Reuben draws my attention and without hesitation that would be my sandwich to order. At $8 bucks, I thought it was expensive but then again, I've never seen a Pork Belly Sandwich so I didn't mind paying plus there's no tax that's a big plus compared to California's 9.25% tax.

 

The melted cheese, smoked porked belly, saurkraut, and toasted rye bread makes this mouth-watering melt in your mouth best sandwhich I've ever eaten.
