The Local Bite: Cleveland Week

Wow, what a week last week! The Generals got the win in convincing style, and there was multiple huge upsets among the college ranks.

This week your Generals will be traveling over to 26th Ave. to take on the Cleveland Warriors. Personally, I’m excited for this game because Cleveland’s stadium is one of my favorites in the PIL. The addition of turf will only improve the ambiance for this week. Couple that with the amazing array of food options in Southeast Portland, and you’ve got the recipe for a great beginning of a long weekend.

A 7 o’clock kickoff means there will be plenty of time for you and your friends or family to grab some grub before the game. Remember though, that this game is on Thursday night since Friday is a school in-service day. This week we’ve got three great restaurants for you to check out, all within ten minutes of the stadium.

Shut Up & Eat Sandwich Shop:

If you’re looking a a great sub, there aren’t many better options than Shut Up & Eat. Reasonably priced sandwiches and some amazing side dishes (macaroni salad, butternut squash, etc.) make this an excellent option for anyone. Make sure to check this establishment out before kickoff as they close at 8:00 PM on Thursdays.

Little Big Burger:
Sliders, fries, sodas, and floats, what more could you ask for in quick and delicious food? Several different options for your burger (lettuce wrap, goat cheese, and a secret menu) and quick service make this place a popular attraction to many in the area. Out of the three restaurants, this place offers the most flexibility in terms of time as it is open late each night.
