The sounds of amazing noodles cooking!

It’s starting to become fairly obvious that Organic City Sounds loves to eat and drink. However, after exploring beer, coffee, food-carts and farming, we’re finding fewer and fewer excuses to eat out and call it ‘work’. But not to worry, this week we found a way! 

Portland has many things going for it, but it seems that a surprising number of Portland’s most popular activities can leave you feeling pretty crappy the next morning.  

That’s why we Portlanders love our breakfast, and why, according to those in the know, Portland has one of the most happenin’ breakfast scenes around! From 95-cent bagels to $25 egg-scrambles, Portland cafes and brunch spots offer something for each of its hung-over citizens, no matter who they are.  

This week we’ll chat with the owners of two of Portland’s most popular brunch spots, and meet up with the definitive Portland breakfast expert.

Hope you’re hungry!
