Norwegian Meatball Wrap

At Viking Soul Food in Portland’s Southwest, a culinary treat wraps Norwegian tradition into every bite. Their signature Norwegian Meatball Wrap begins with a hearty meatball, skillfully crafted from ground beef and pork, blended with rye breadcrumbs, cream, and spices.

The meatballs are wrapped in a pliable lefse, made from Idaho potatoes and flour. Rich gravy, crisp greens, and purple cabbage make up the rest of the filling, and the whole thing is griddled to perfection.

Guy Fieri couldn’t hide his marvel at the wrap, lauding the meatball’s tenderness and the sauce’s knockout flavor. “Lights out. Wow. That’s good,” he said.

Crab Cake Cioppino

At Portland, Oregon’s Seasons and Regions Seafood Grill, a culinary twist on a classic is making waves. Guy Fieri was stunned by their innovative Crab Cake Cioppino: a homemade spicy broth that brims with layers of robust flavor, crowned with a Dungeness crab cake that introduces a delightful crunch to the rich stew.

The crab cake itself is a meld of succulent Dungeness crab, vibrant roasted red peppers, and a mix of seasoning including parsley, Tabasco, and old bay, adding a unique, textured dimension to the beloved seafood stew.

Dungeness Crab And Cajun Crawfish Pie

At Fisherman’s Market in Eugene, Oregon, seafood enthusiasts revel in the exceptional quality of sea harvests, notably the Dungeness crab which boasts remarkable tenderness.

Patrons don’t need condiments here, finding the natural flavors rich enough. A standout item, the Cajun Crawfish Pie, combines a flaky crust with a slight spicy zest, capped with a dollop of sour cream for balance.

Guy Fieri has praised the Market for delivering a comprehensive seafood journey. With each bite, diners can almost trace the journey from the sea to their plates—a testament to the freshness this Eugene gem prides itself on.

Fried Cheese Crustless Pizza

In Lancaster, Oregon, Junkyard Extreme Burgers and Brats stands out for its novel culinary creation, the Fried Cheese Crustless Pizza.

Situated in a quirky, race trailer-turned-dining spot, this eatery introduces pizza without a traditional dough crust; instead, it boasts a golden, fried cheese base. As toppings heap on, the cheese base remains sturdy and delivers a crave-worthy crunch.

Guy Fieri, humorously questioned the health of this pizza, with its all-cheese foundation, yet ended up delighted with its addictive crunchiness. Diners looking for a unique twist on pizza will find their expectations exceeded with this cheese-laden innovation.

Pork Belly Reuben

At Bunk Sandwiches in Portland, the culinary duo behind the counter brings fine dining to the humble sandwich.

Their specialty, the Pork Belly Reuben, captivates with house-cured pork belly seasoned with a medley of ground spices. Enveloped in dark rye, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut, the sandwich gets a decadent finish with bacon fat-infused Russian dressing—their nod to “liquid Moscow.”

Guy Fieri couldn’t help but praise the sandwich’s complexity and the perfect execution of the pork.

He highlighted Bunk’s offering as a pinnacle Portland experience. For those traversing Morrison Bridge, a visit to this sandwich haven is essential to taste their culinary craftsmanship that turns a classic Reuben into a mouthwatering masterpiece.
