YouTube: St. Patrick's Day; Taco Bell; Doritos

For those not in the know, it's been a crazy past three weeks for me because I've started a new full-time job. I've still managed to get some time in to film my usual spicy food stunts. However, I obviously don't have as much time on my hands to edit the video.

Hawaiian Style Grill

Hawaiian Style Grill has two locations: one on E Fourth Plain in Vancouver, Washington; and a newer second location on N Killingsworth in Portland, Oregon. The Portland spot opened next to Portland Community College last month (on February 13), and I stopped by the next day.

Mac! Mac & Cheesery (Part 2)

(Original Review -- October 2011)

My poutine travels took me back to Mac! on Valentine's Day 2013. After all, I've developed quite an affection for the comfort food dish. But here, I had a take on poutine I never had before.

Viking Soul Food (Part 2)

(UPDATE: Viking Soul Food closed their cart at the end of April 2014. They plan to reopen as a catering-only business in the future.)

(Original Review -- August 2011)

I find it remarkable that it had been so long since I've visited Viking Soul Food. I finally got some food here back in late January. In particular, some lefse specials had caught my eye. This food cart moved to the Good Food Here pod in 2012.

YouTube: Lay's Chips; Jack in the Box

A lot has gone on in my world over the last two weeks. I've gained a bunch of subscribers, and I again thank everyone for watching my videos! One video in particular became a giant hit on my channel, thanks to some great timing and shameless promoting.
