Fats

[March 19th, 2008]

We’ve already given you ample artery-clogging suggestions throughout this guide—but, hell, what’s another pants sizes between friends?

^Jim & Patty’s Coffee

The OG Coffee People resurrected the Black Tiger milkshake ($4.95), last fall. Made with CP’s super-amped, high-octane Black Tiger coffee blend and Prince Puckler’s Black Tiger ice cream from Eugene, it’s like cement-thick, icy meth. 4951 NE Fremont St., 284-2121.

^Philly Cheesesteaks & Burgers

Maybe it’s this cart’s white American cheese sauce, or its sky-high mound of steak, peppers and onions—in any case, this Philly Cheese Steak ($6.25) is a champ. 701 SW 6th Ave.

^Annie’s Doughnuts

Peanut butter and chocolate “butterflies” (85 cents) and cinnamon-and-sugar-spiced applesauce doughnuts (60 cents)—fresh daily—make Annie’s our gal. 3449 NE 72nd Ave., 284-2752.

^Sesame Doughnuts

This Raleigh Hills shop turns the deep-fried goodness up to 11 with its faintly nutty namesake: A piping-hot cake doughnut rolled in a light glaze and roasted sesame seeds (80 cents each). 6990 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, 297-8175.

^Holman’s

Deep-fried macaroni and cheese triangles ($5.50) with a side of smoke inhalation. Keep dipping these oozy little wedges in ranch and Tabasco. You’ll be sorry. 15 SE 28th Ave., 231-1093.

^Popeyes

Fuck all this healthy, sustainable shit. The greasy, crunchy, 2 am siren song of this Louisiana chain’s spicy chicken and beef-bit-gravy topped spuds beckons ($5.29, two-piece meal). 3120 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 281-8455. 5939 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 286-4489.

^VOODOO DOUGHNUT

Behind the rock-star sightings and Strawberry Quik doughnut hype hunkers the pinnacle of sweet-meets-meat: the bacon maple bar ($2.50). 22 SW 3rd Ave., 241-4704.

^horse brass pub

It’s the amazing, colon-bursting Scotch egg ($3.95) : “A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, breaded and deep-fried.” WW’s AP Kryza swears by it. [i]4534 SE Belmont St., 232-2202.
