ERIC @ Alberta Street Oyster Bar & Grill (503) 284-9600
2926 NE Alberta Street, Portland, Oregon, 97211
Why he’s dreamy:
Perky panko-fried oysters, Dungeness crab, avocado and grapefruit sabayon…Crushtastic! And his salt-roasted beets, pistachio-crusted goat cheese, rhubarb and beet greens threw one heck of a party on our tongues. Irresistible pearls of goodness, plus he’s the cutest baby-faced bivalve wrangler we know.
GABRIEL @ Le Pigeon (503) 546-8796
738 E Burnside Street, Portland, Oregon, 97214
Why he’s dreamy:
Butter-soft scallops, seared foie gras that melts in your mouth, the tenderest of beef cheek Bourguignon and halibut with fresh peas and asparagus. And who can say no to Oreo-crusted goat cheesecake with strawberry mint compote? Super friendly and happy to chat with our enamored, elated selves, Gabriel made the Crush Girls blush bigtime. Watching him manage eight saute pans at a time only got us hotter! We’re officially intoxicated by his skills and charm. P.S. Did we mention he has a cute behind? (We couldn’t help but peek!)
