pine state biscuits.

And yes, the collard greens are this good:

One of my favorite things in life is to savor good food – and it gets even better when that meal or treat is coupled with great company and conversation. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy or a seven-course meal to make me happy. It can be something simple and comforting – like a warm biscuit with honey butter.  But these aren’t just any ol’ biscuits – these are Pine State Biscuits.  And being from the South, I am very happy to have this kind of goodness here in Portland. Now, not only can you indulge in the morning, but late into the night as well – with libations! 

The gentlemen from Pine State recently contacted me in need of some night shots of their new location - which is now open late on the weekends. Since I spend a lot of time shooting at night, I was happy to oblige. The new spot on Alberta is warm and cozy, making it a perfect spot to grab a drink, some food and stay a while. Grab a friend and treat yourself to an evening of comfort and delight. My favorites include the McIsley and the old standby, the buttermilk biscuit with butter & honey. Simple yet so dreamy.
