Tasty n Alder
It's located at the corner of SW 12th Ave and Alder, in case you were wondering if the owner's name was Alder, or something, cause you'd be wrong.
We're here for brunch, and we're hungry. The menu is designed around small plates for sharing. We like sharing, so let's get rolling!

And, as usual, let's start with a beverage, the adult variety of course. A fairly standard, and delicious, bloody mary. I'm not needing to cure a hangover so much, although Han'Fan' could use that! but more to kick-start the day! It's 70 deg outside, blue skies, a beautiful day, and I want to soak up as much of it as I can.
Let's eat!
One caveat first.... The menu here doesn't offer much in the way of an explanation of specific ingredients, so I'll do my best to offer my own, but I may not be all that accurate. Not far off though, in range of the target, but you're probably used to that from me by now :-O

Monte Cristo, Spiced Maple
Tasted like bioche with a deeply flavorful cheese atop, perfectly melted but not runny, and a ham that was a cross between prosciutto and regular ham, but not panchetta. Delicious! And split three ways it was just the right amount.
Mini Bisquits with Sausage Gravy
One amazing bite!
Biscuits are one of the stars of this joint, being a breakfast/brunch place. And they know how to make em! Light and flaky, thick and buttery. Gravy was stick to your ribs good!
Potaoes Brava, fried in washimi wagyu tallo, Over Easy Eggs, Aioli
You mix it all together and enjoy.
No words, just terrific
Fried Egg & Cheddar Biscuit, House Bacon
HG had this and it looked great. I had my own meal to deal with so I ate it with my eyes only.
Tasso Hash, Onion Sour Cream, Over Easy Egg
MINE!
I just mixed it up and shoveled it in. Every fricken bite was so full of flavor. Salty, savory, greasy but not overly, seasoned perfect. A great balance of big flavors.
Fried Egg & Cheddar Biscuit, Fried Chicken
Han'Fan' had this. Looked great. Hopefully she's enjoyed it by now as it was loaded up in a box, and she was loaded up on a bus, headed back across the river to take a nap.
Go to Portland
Eat some great food
Enjoy a beverage or two
I will again soon. Promise
