Valentino’s Liked Places

Valentino Herrera: I highly recommend the chicken knees; their duck tongues are the best.

Valentino Herrera: Best place virtually anywhere for jackfruit curry

Valentino Herrera: Often overlooked, don't forget to check out Babe's hooves across the street from where Paul Bunyan stands

Valentino Herrera: The founder is from North Carolina and the biscuits and other dishes are as authentic as you'd want, with a few added embellishments. I recommend the Reggie, even for breakfast.

Valentino Herrera: An amazing and often overlooked gem above Portland.

Valentino Herrera: I had and recommend their moon cakes (although they do not have the salted duck yolks) and the licorice tea

Valentino Herrera: Get the halibut collars - the only thing they do here is fish and chips, so don't expect your fish broiled, baked or otherwise cooked.

Valentino Herrera: Have the Great Balls of Fire at the end of the meal, as you won't be able to taste anything afterwards.

Valentino Herrera: The banh mi tacos are an interesting twist on the sandwich and a nice no-bread option

Valentino Herrera: As frightening as the peanut butter, bacon and pickle burger sounds, it works perfectly. A must-try.
