Spudt24, long time CR friend, is coming into Portland Friday night. He has been working at Spirit Mountain casino on their digital surveillance needs and will be passing through Portland for the night on his way up to Seattle for the weekend. I'll be taking him out to dinner and show him around some. I need to figure out which restaurant to go to? I'm not sure which to take him to so I'll list several that might be fun or different and see if readers prefer one.

I guess having a little background on Spudt24 might help. He is in his mid 20's, of italian descent, and lives in Santa Barbara. He travels a lot for his job and frequents all kinds of restaurants when he travels. I figure something a little different from his usual fare might be good.

There are so many good restaurants to choose from, so I'm presenting a wide selection to be narrowed by feedback. This is just a start, if you think I'm not on the right track for spuddy let me know.
