Trying American Food in Portland (Voodoo Donuts!)

We've landed in America! 🇺🇸
Our first stop is Portland, Oregon where we try to discover if it really is the best city in America for foodies like one online article suggests!
In this video we try out a mix of Portland restaurants made up of food from all over the world. We have an interesting breakfast at pine state biscuits, try some unfortauntely forgettable chicken and rice at Nong's khao man gai and sink our teeth into Portlands most iconic baked good at Voodoo donuts! We finish the night at Kens artisan pizza to get the real American experience!
How we're getting around America on a budget: flixbus.tp.st/xiQzDlyk
We are so excited to spend the next 10 months moving through North America, Canada and South America eating everything we find and exploring some major cities! If you have any recommendations on the American East or west coast (Especially food) Please let us know!!
Thanks for watching!
If you enjoyed this portland food tour please give it a thumbs up to help us grow!
