#1 reason to move to Portland if you're not the crunchy granola "I love the environment and my idea of a good time is surviving bear attacks while hiking up Mt. Hood" type: good cheap beer and beef. ( wine as well for the snooty crowd) Oregon is blessed with fertile soil and incessant rain which apparently are essential ingredients to growing grapes, hops and cows. As such the many microbreweries flooding the market bring down the prices of local beer. And hell you can't drive two blocks without hitting a cow. I may be exaggerating about the cows but we have many ranches at the eastern end of the state (staffed by actual cowboys with boots and ten-gallon hats), which equals cheap beef. YUM!
(Pic is of tonight's dinner. The steaks came in a pack of four for $20.)
