It all started on Friday when we went to Beast for dinner. Beast is in NE Portland, on 30th and Killingsworth. It is an amazing restaurant that was rated the best restaurant in Portland, 2008 by Portland Monthly Magazine. Check out their website at: http://beastpdx.com/about/.
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game shows questions.
Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the shows seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?
When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.

Sunday morning we did brunch with my family (my mom and dad) at Salty's on the river. It is such a delicious brunch. They have everything: crab, shrimp, prime rib, fresh made to order omelettes, crapes, salads, oysters, salmon, eggs Benedict, hash browns, sausage, bacon, ALL YOU CAN DRINK MIMOSAS OR CHAMPAGNE, and a 5 foot chocolate fountain, plus a ton of other stuff that I am forgetting. It is such an AMAZING brunch with a beautiful view of the Columbia River. And, it's not too terribly expensive either, which is awesome. Check it out... you will LOVE it, I guarantee it!

BEAST is a fine and unique restaurant. The food and presentation was great. We sat next to a really cool couple that just moved to Portland after living in California (Bay Area)for two years. Before that they lived in NYC, and are originally from Orange County, CA. Andy, the husband, we found out was an executive chef. He had a lot of educated opinions about the food. He and his wife, Anya, were extremely pleasant and fun to visit with. We exchanged ph #s and emails as to get together again sometime. Stephanie is quite outgoing and personable, which makes it easy to get to know others. The birthday girl got extra dolled up and looked beautiful in her green dress and gold jewelery. It was a fun night out, and a fun weekend!
