Clyde Common

Last week, after many conversations with each other, and a lot of planning, unplanning, and replanning, we quietly opened up a few tables on the sidewalk in front of Clyde for our friends and family. Nothing inside, unfortunately, because that's just not safe enough for us. But it was really nice to serve some drinks and food to our favorite people from a safe distance.
Today, we're going to put a few more tables out there because we miss you and would like to see you, too.
You can order from your table at our website, clydecommon.com, or you can come up to the window we've put in at the front door and order from there. We want this to be as safe and as comfortable as possible for you. Our tables are at least ten feet apart and the crew is following every precaution necessary to ensure a safe experience.
We're still doing food delivery through Caviar, but we're also making food available for pick-up, also through our website. So feel free to come down before your food is ready and have a drink outside with us. We'd really love to see you. We're here from 4PM-8PM Wednesday through Saturday (for now).

Clyde Tavern Burgers for days...
Did you know that we've been grinding our own beef for the famous Clyde burger (now back to its original delicious incarnation thanks to ) since we opened in 2007?
We take chuck and brisket from Cascade Natural Beef, grind it in-house and form the burger patties by hand (I know this process well, as Chris has put me to work on occasion).
And for the die-hard fans from way back, we now offer the original tomato jam as an add-on (on the side, just in case you also need to dip a fry) for just fifty cents.
The bar team has been splitting one of these guys almost nightly for the past thirteen years. If you want to see what the fuss is all about, check out our website (link is in our profile) for pick-up or delivery. We're open Wednesday-Saturday, from 4PM until 8PM, and we love being able to take care of you.

One last new entree this week! We love (and have always loved) Chris’ squid ink fideos with all our hearts, but we quickly learned they weren’t traveling super well due to the tiny size of that particular noodle. So Chris replaced it with another pasta that still scratches that itch.
We’re now making fresh spaghettini in-house and serving it with Calabrian chiles, charred squid, and scallops. It’s another one of those dishes that goes super well with summer weather, and rocks when paired alongside a radicchio salad and a bottle of rosé.
Tonight is our last night for the week, open as usual from 4PM until 8PM for pickup and delivery. You can do both from our website, ClydeCommon.com (I’m not gonna change the link in our profile just yet in case there are any more of you who simply *need* to watch that Bourbon Renewal video from yesterday 😂)
We will be back at it next Wednesday as usual! @ Downtown Portland

New menu items this week! It's me , as usual these days. I love my job right now: I get to talk to about what he's working on for the menu, I get to photograph his delicious food, and then when that's all over I get to sit around and eat it. Not a bad gig to be honest.
Chris says he'd never heard of dirty fries before he moved to Portland in 2009. But after a whopping five whole minutes of internet research on my part, it seems like putting a bunch of cheese and other stuff on french fries is probably about as old as the french fry itself. I wouldn't doubt, however, that Portland played some small part in the elevation of the dirty fry, and Chris has taken that and mastered it even further.
Our Sugo Fries are covered in our house lamb/pork sugo, pickled anaheim peppers, chevre, cheddar, and grana padano cheeses, and finished with green onions and herbs. They're decadent, but they're also surprisingly light for this weather.
Clyde Tavern Sugo Fries are available starting today from 4PM until 8PM for pickup and delivery. They also go AMAZINGLY well with a quart of Anthem Cider, and of course I say this from experience. Link to our website for ordering is in our profile, we look forward to taking care of you!
