Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

Here's a major form of mindless television entertainment, drooling over amazing food concoctions from around the country. Now and again a Portland joint is featured but, alas, I've been disappointed when I visit the place myself. It always looks better on TV than it ends up being in person. I keep waiting for a place to feature scrapple but not yet.

I know J&M Cafe on the near east side, around Southeast 6th and Oak or Pine, has scrapple on the menu. There might be others I don't know about. Had some a few years ago at a little joint in Seattle's Pike Place Market but it was disappointing -- greasy and bland. Not like the stuff my dad used to make (and surely not up to the stuff you make, Charles). Thing about a good scrapple is, it's one of those divine full-flavored foods that came about out of economic necessity: use everything and stretch it out. Necessity isn't just the mother of invention. It's the mother of genuine cooking, too.
