Last Breaths of Portland

It's 4:30 pm and I'm queen of the unpacked boxes a moat of shite and I'm hungry. Gallant internet to the rescue; a search of "old school burgers Portland" yielding in a rejoicing chant of "Stanich's, Stanich's!"  20 minutes and a bike ride later.

Sometime you know.  You walk into a place and you just know.  I knew.
"PBR, cheeseburger with a side of fries, please"
Then this:
 
Good Lord.
Hands down, one of the best burgers ever.  No brioche, Kobe-milk-fed-hand-massaged, carmelized nonsense— just one carefully crafted burger.  Toasted top and bottom, even shmear of ballpark mustard and house-made sauce, oozy cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion.  That's it.  So impressed I introduced a friend 2 days later just to have seconds.  He ordered "The Special" an excessive contender topped with an egg, ham, and bacon weighing in at a reasonable $6.  So if you happen to find yourself in the ol' hood:

Stanich's
