okay, does anybody have any favorite restaurants around the portland area that has atkins frendly menus? i am looking for something new. getting tired of outback and fajitas. i have heard about haydens grill, haven't tried it yet, and also finnigans and someplace on 99E in sherwood from this thread. anybody know of any more??

thanks

At least here in Eugene anyone can shop at Cash & Carry. However, you can only write a check if it's a business check. Otherwise, you have to use cash or debit/credit.

The friend who told me about it lives in Keizer but I bet it is the one on Broadway (it goes straight out to Keizer). I haven't been there yet ... I hear it is spendy. I missed the tasting at Salem Health foods. However, I was in there last week and bought pork rinds dusted with cinnamon ... most delish ...

Cash & Carry on Salem Industrial Dr. is open to the public (no membership), I get all my DaVinci/Torani syrups there (They get more new flavors all the time. My new favorite latte flavor is german chocolate cake)

thanks guys for the cash and carry info.

i looked into going to haydens grill last night. i called them and they have a daily atkins special. last night it was new york strip and salad. i asked the price.....25.00 . i asked if dessert came with that!!

we ended up at outback

so.. does anybody know where there is a cash and carry in hillsboro, or beaverton, or clackamas??

Thanks for the info, Skyangel...that makes sense...it probably is the same store...

BTW...I bought those sweet cinnamon butter pork rinds last weekend (my second time...) and they ARE really wonderful! They also have some cheese flavored ones, and I told my boss (who is diabetic) and she thought they might be better. I don't know...those cinnamon ones are awfully good!!

Where did you find the sweet cinnamon butter pork rinds? I've been looking for them all over...

you can find them (cinnimon pork rinds) online, i use netrition.com, or they have been at some of the low-carb stores.

Sweet Cinnamon and Butter Pork Rinds...Brand name is Gram's Gourmet...You can find them at Salem Health Foods in downtown Salem, OR...Salem Centre Mall, first floor.

Oh! Guess What?! I heard on the radio just today that ALBANY now has a low carb store...It's called Daily Low Carb...and it's downtown, on 2nd Avenue. I don't know how big the place is...but last month I visited a sports nutrition place that advertised a tiny section of low carb products...and I suspect that it's the same place, but with a new name...and a new emphasis, with a bigger inventory of low carb foods. Check it out if you get to downtown Albany, OR. I plan to do so, and report back....

acipenser, Cash & Carry has a lot of stores in Oregon and Washington. Here is a link to the listing ......

i tried to go to the clackamas store yesterday. they were closed, but the sign on the door said bussnisses only??? do some stores only let business owners in??


okay, i called them and they said the public is welcome... soulda done that first!! thanks for the info


thanks

This is OT, but I just wanted to point you to another thread:

Calling everyone in the Eugene, Oregon Area - ComedySportz

Flyrite here!

I posted this in it's own thread but thought i might let everyone know about a new lo carb food store in NE Portland.

Low Carb Food Centers
2735 NE Broadway

it's over by the Hollywood Fred Meyers.

Now a lot of their stuff like all the other lo carb stores is really expensive but they do have a lot of stuff and they seem to be sugar alcohol conscious; meaning they post signs on certain things touting no sugar alcohols.

AND they have a soft serve ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!! which is sweetned with SPLENDA!!!!!!! I actually made the checker check to see if there was any sugar alcohols and she said sorbitol is the last ingredient on the ingredient list which means there ain't much in there and she said she's pretty sensitive to it and the ice cream doesn't give her any troubles. Had a free sample and it was damn good. i had to get a pint.

AND they have the CINNAMON/BUTTER PORK RINDS and the CHEESE PORK RINDS.

AND a huge selection of DAVINCI SF SYRUPS!!!!! and a ton of other stuff i've never seen before.

YAHOO!!!!

can you tell that i'm excited?
anyways i thought i would let you all know...

WOW, cash and carry is my new best friend. the syrups are $3.65 for the big bottle!!! i can't believe i have been spending 5-7.00 for them at the low-carb stores!!! and they had costco-like stuff, i got a big bag of broccoli and a big bag of pepperoni. i am so happy i found a new store!!!
