200 NE 28th Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97232

Why he’s dreamy:
Sparkling “summer crisp salad” with buttermilk blue cheese vinaigrette, apples, and radishes is the perfect palate teaser for the simple and addictive tajarin, thin housemade pasta with truffle butter and grana padano. So good. The three-course dinner for $24 is hands down the best deal in town, and the $16 wine pairing adds a warm glow to our already blushing cheeks. And is it us (or the facial hair) or does this hottie look a little like a dashing musketeer in chef’s clothing?

ANTHONY @ Arleta Library Bakery Cafe (503) 774-4470
5513 SE 72nd Street, Portland, Oregon, 97206

Why he’s dreamy:
Semolina griddle cakes with crumbled bacon inside. Sinful but worth it, just like all those sweets tempting us from their perch on the counter. Yummy sandwiches and simple, fresh comfort food hit the spot on those days when we feel mellow and low-key. But we can’t help tossing on a little mascara and lip gloss, knowing this adorable chefboy will be there. *blush* Thanks so much to A. for tipping us off to this cutie!
