Where: 1818 NW 23rd Pl - Map

When: Saturday, November 23rd – 7:30pm

What: Spanish Tapas – Full Diner Menu

Who: The more the merrier!! Just leave a comment so we can have a rough count for a reservation.

This is what the reviews say:

• From Portland Monthly: The menu dives into Tapas, Per Picar (tiny bites), and Paellas + Rossejats (toasted noodles). The meloso, a tender hunk of lamb shoulder from the tapas list, comes stewed in peach coulis over a pile of creamy white beans and under a crown of potato chips. Mejillones en escabeche, a three-bite snack of vinegar-poached mussels and pickled vegetables is one of several dishes served in a tin, a nod to the high-quality canned cuisine of Northern Spain.
• From Willamette Week: Ataula, meaning “to the table” in Barcelona’s Catalonian tongue, is a comfortable blend of Portland-casual style and traditional Spanish tapas with occasional modernist accents. Ataula brings a renewed focus on top-quality tapas.
• From Sip Northwest: Behind the bar, a short list of house Cocteles kindle the appetite. El Greco Tonica is a spirited riff on the timeless G&T, with Dolin Blanc and cinchona-bark tonic lending a refreshing bite. Wines are by and large Spanish (and mostly under $40 by the bottle), plus an international selection of beers and cider.

Bonus:  We now have the Culture Club Silver Pear. This magical totem will be awarded to the person who has the best quote, best story or whoever is most deserving. Plus, once awarded, you get to choose the next chapter of our culinary tour of Portland.

After an 8 year hiatus Culture Club is back! Now with a fancy-schmancy domain name: pdxcultureclub.com.

For the revival we will pay tribute to our past with a visit to the site of our very first adventure…

Whomever, leave a comment so we can have a rough count for a table. Curtis, Kate, Alexa, and Kyle are already confirmed

With everyone’s busy schedule, a weekly outing seems unreasonable so I think we will try for every few weeks. In our usual, casual fashion we will select the next “host” at dinner. If you can’t make it keep an eye on the site for new information. Let’s go eat!

It’s Friday the 13th and were going with the big, purple octopus. Located on Washington street, downtown. Leave a comment if you’re coming (stating who you be bringin’), so we can make a reservation if needed.

Update: Kate has free tickets to the 10:30 show at Harvey’s (comedy club) the same night. Be sure to mention in the comments if you want her to save you one. There’s plenty to go around, she just needs to know by Thursday.

Update 2: By the way, dinner is at 7:30. Leave a comment to let us know whether or not your coming.

Hope to Will see you all Friday. ~Curtis

Hi All! Springtime has arrived and to celebrate let’s grill up some meat and drink some beer. We’ll be having a real casual BBQ at our place, Saturday around 4:30. It’s BYOBB (beef & booze) and bring a friend or 2 if you’d like.

Hope to see you all tomorrow! ~Kate
