While others are scavenging @ SEA, savvy PDX travelers will make a beeline for the airport version of Portland's nationally-known Thai food favorite, Pok Pok. My reliable sources tell me the soft opening was today and first official day is tomorrow, Friday 10/10.
Pok Pok is the first of several well-regarded local restaurants to open outlets @ PDX as the Port of Portland begins a concerted effort to replace national chains as their leases terminate over the next few years. The Pok Pok outlet will operate with a slimmed down, slightly modified menu (but, yes, there will be those magical chicken wings :p), reportedly in a location outside security but near the A/B/C concourse(s).
Coincidentally, I'm flying out tomorrow eve and will supplement or amend this post as appropriate. Happy news for those of us sick of crappy airport food.
