File this under reason #74 why I adore PortlandFoodand Drink.com. Food Dude has gone ahead and taken the guess work out of discovering what local restaurants are offering for Valentine's Day. He's compiled a list, culled from piles of electronic press releases, of what's going down in Portland eateries on the most depressing romantic night of the year. You can find the post here.

Not on the list? An intriguing rumor I heard, from folks in the know, that Janis Martin of Tanuki will be having an anti-valentines day event. The menu may include Skewered Duck Hearts (I've had 'em. They're tasty), and there might be free food for people who break up with someone over Twitter while in the restaurant. Man. The more I learn about Martin, the more I realize what a beautifully twisted person she is.
