East_Burn

How’s about dining out on swings? Sounds interesting, right? East Burn- a good place to kick back with friends and sway while you eat. There is both indoor and outdoor seating options; many of these include swings that hang table-side. The outdoor patio also includes tables with fire-pits as your centerpiece (please note: the outdoor patio allows smoking).

Last week I managed to fit in a feast while dining at East Burn and it was worth it.  Let me just say-Elk Meatloaf Sandwich- served on pugliese with slow roasted tomatoes and baby arugula dressed with champagne vinaigrette (Oh yum). I will be back for the meatloaf sandwich before you know it.

The good food didn’t stop there, I also indulged in a side of clam chowder that was equally brilliant. You see- I am a huge fan of clam chowder and all types of Seafood. This was due to my adolescence when I grew up digging clams clams in Sitka, Alaska during the summer. My grandfather and I would go out in the early morning when the low-tides hit and scoop up large clams right beneath the surface. When our buckets were filled to the brim, we would haul the clams indoors and helped grandma get to cooking. By afternoon and high-tide, we had a huge batch of fresh clam chowder that would melt in your mouth. Some fun facts to throw out there while offering a good piece of where to eat when you want to sway!

I love breakfast and for that matter, who doesn’t? My weekend ritual of heading out of the house and scouting out a place with tasty bites and good drinks can be very adventurous. Finding a place with a lively environment and outdoor seating is an extra plus, especially with the weather beginning to warm up! A newly discovered brunch favorite: Screen Door located at 2337 E Burnside. Their plates offer a mountain of goodness ranging from mouth-watering biscuits n’ gravy, fried chicken and waffles, scrumptious eggs benedicts, and much, much more! Their biscuits and gravy hit the spot!
