Episode Details

Portland’s food and drink scene is constantly changing, with new spots opening and closing seemingly every month. But there are several old standbys that have survived for decades — some for well over a century. What’s the secret behind their longevity? And are they still worth your patronage? Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking with Oregonian restaurant reporter and critic Michael Russell. He’s taking us back to Old Portland via some of its greatest and longest-lived eateries.  

Restaurants discussed in today’s episode:

• Fuller’s Coffee Shop
• Otto's Sausage Kitchen
• Dan & Louis Oyster Bar
• Jake’s Famous Crawfish
• Huber’s Cafe
• The Original Pancake House
• RingSide Steakhouse
