In town for IFBC, and hit up ¡Oba! Restaurante in the Pearl District for dinner last night. It was my first visit to this long time Portland favorite, and what a treat! ¡Oba!‘s menu is where bold Latin traditions, spices and preparations meet seasonal, local ingredients. The innovative cuisine explores vibrant flavors from Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean and across the Americas. Definitely worth checking out!
Here’s a look at some of the Tapas featuring bacon and pork — all were excellent!
Bacon - Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños. Stuffed with chorizo and cream cheese, with apple demi glaze….
Yucatan Pork Arepas. Columbian corn cakes topped with braised pork, cabbage and onion…
Tacos Dorados. Crispy braised pork tacos with salsa borracha and queso fresco…
More on the International Food Blogger Conference later…

Highly recommended! The food is great and the wine list has some really good selections, too! Thanks for checking out the blog, J!

Hi Michael! Great meeting you at IFBC and I love your blog! Love bacon and your recipes are killer.
Hi, Regina! IFBC was an amazing experience, and meeting you was certainly one of the highlights for me! We’ll connect again soon I’m sure, but until then, continued success to you and your blog — thanks for checking out The Bacon Hunter!
WOW! Great photo of the bacon wrapped jalapeno in demi glaze. Food photography is tough in general, let alone at a restaurant and you nailed it. Impressive!
Thank you, Frieda!
