Skidbladnir Like List
Patrick Carney's defunct Rose City Food Park food cart Skidbladnir, known for its Scandinavian and Celtic comfort food, made a triumphant return at Star Bar Like List on April 13. Unfortunately, the fan-favorite Norwegian meatballs are no longer on the menu due to their labor-intensive nature, but the Skidbladnir menu is available seven days a week, with burgers, seaweed-braised lamb sandwich sliders, and Irish spice bags (a unique Irish fast food dish inspired by Asian cuisine, with fried chicken, curry, and fries).

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

Portland Pizza Week 2023 Past Event Like List
The Portland Mercury's Pizza Week is making its long-awaited return, giving pizza lovers the chance to get special slices from some of Portland's finest purveyors of pizza pies... for a mere three dollars each! That's right: Each slice is just THREE MEASLY DOLLARS or, at participating venues, a WHOLE PIE for $20. (You heard correctly: Once again this year certain Pizza Week participants may also be offering $20 whole pies along with slices—or whole pies alone!) Pizza Week is presented by Jim Beam, Tetra Cannabis, and EverOut Portland (that's us!), along with Feed the Mass—a simply terrific nonprofit that works to eliminate food waste while helping feed our city's most vulnerable neighbors. (They offer education programs too, so check 'em out here!) Thanks to these stellar partners, the Mercury is proud to present what might be our greatest Pizza Week lineup ever—one that features wildly creative slices from a whopping 36 (!!) Portland locations, available across the city and lovingly crafted by your favorite pizza masterminds. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
