Pine State Biscuits
AlbertaThe Reggie put Portland biscuits on the map: fried chicken, bacon, Tillamook cheddar, and gravy stacked on a buttermilk biscuit the size of your head. The Alberta location is a small room with a long line out front and a kitchen that closes by early afternoon. Southern-by-way-of-the-Northwest breakfast, done with a fork when the sandwich gives up.
The order
The Reggie — fried chicken, bacon, and Tillamook cheddar under a ladle of gravy — and get it Deluxe with a fried egg if you skipped breakfast for this; a side of fried green tomatoes if the table can hold one more.
