The Vibrant Kerns Hood - East Burnside and more

Overview
In this Portland food tour, we will explore the charming streets of the Kerns neighborhood where we will sample some of the tastiest bites that Portland has to offer. This once sleepy neighborhood has blossomed into a Portland bazaar for diverse and delicious treats. Our five stops will create a varied and scrumptious meal and whet your appetite for what the Kerns has to offer. Examples include ethnic contributions such as Jaliscan and Bretagne food, a visit to an eclectic outdoor food hall, charcuterie, and dessert from an artisanal ice cream shop..

You will not leave hungry!

While the Kerns extends more broadly, its core is centered on Restaurant Row, on NE 28th between Burnside and Glisan St.

We will walk a total of 1.3 miles through tree lined streets and hipster hangouts while we visit six foodie hot spots in the Kerns neighborhood. Along the way we will also talk about the history of the Kerns and take in some classical Portland residential architecture.

All ages welcome.

Visit a food cart, which is tucked away in the Kerns hood. It's a real hidden gem and depending on the day, we'll be enjoying either Korean fried chicken, or savory crepes and lavender lemonade. There is even a Beer Bus (yes, a bus with beer on draft coming out the side) on the premises.

The food tour was amazing! We thought it was the most fun thing we’ve done in a long time. Sherri’s knowledge of Portland was surprising. We both learned a lot and loved her style. I will definitely do this again when I have company in town and I’m so excited to have experienced the Kerns area as I’m always looking for new good restaurants & interesting shops. Thank you again SHERRI for a job well done!

Thank you both for being such delightful guests. I love to share part of what makes Portland special (it's awesome food) - and love to have locals along. We'd love to host you and your friends again on another tour!

We had the most amazing food tour with Sherri! From beginning to end, it was fun, informative and very, very tasty. Sherri is extremely knowledgeable about the Portland food scene, Portland history and food in general. One of our friends has a nut allergy and another doesn't drink alcohol; Sherri made sure they were taken care of with appropriate substitutions. Between food stops, we made stops in two specialty markets and loved the opportunity to peruse them while getting our appetites back! The pacing was appreciated! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Portland by Mouth and can't wait to come back for another tour!

It was my pleasure doing a private tour for the 6 of you - how fun that you all chose to travel to Portland for the weekend to eat your way around the city. I had so much fun sharing the day with you all, and was of course happy to make some adaptations so all of you could fully enjoy the food offerings.

We live in Seattle, and come to Portland often. But we decided to do a private food tour when we came down for a quick weekend. Sherri was amazing! She took us to a neighborhood that we had never been to. We had the opportunity to go to a couple of really cool markets, and try food from local restaurants that we had never seen. If you’re in Portland and want a great experience, definitely call Sherry at Portland by Mouth!
