SE Division's newish "New West drinking food" restaurant the American Local recently introduced weekend brunch, serving Portland's favorite meal on both Saturdays and Sundays only. Chef Chris Whaley's brunch menu features housemade pastries, the usual skewer menu (with the addition of eggs and toast), and breakfast-y dishes like fried chicken biscuit sandwiches and Johnny cake with sausage, maple, and roasted apple. New brunch hours: 10:30a.m. to 2p.m., weekends. [EaterWire]
