The sustainable raw-food restaurant Prasad — which shares its space with a yoga studio — seems custom-made for Portlandia, but it's been serving its chipotle vegan scrambles and spirulina-spiked smoothies since 2010. Professors Malcom (Armisen) and Kris (Brownstein) marvel at how its vegan dishes taste like "real food," then relieve themselves on the Portland version of a smoker's annex: an outdoor fart patio, which combats one of the unfortunate side effects of raw bowls.

James Beard Award-winning chef Gabriel Rucker makes a brief cameo in a season-two sketch that sees one Portlander trying to go Paleo and give up all pasta. Rucker's acclaimed French restaurant Le Pigeon is more likely to serve foie gras profiteroles and beef bourguignon than the heaping bowls of spaghetti with red sauce (as seen on the show), but Rucker mans a pasta machine for a hot minute while Armisen stares on.

Ironically, a sketch skewering communal tables takes place at the one Portland restaurant that's not committed to communal dining: In real life, this North Portland outpost of Lompoc Brewing does offer more than one table, and its atmosphere is more casual-brewpub than fine-dining. It's probably still a bad place, though, to tell your significant other that you'd like to date other people, as Chloe Sevigny does to Carrie Brownstein in a season-two sketch.

Brunch lines are a very legitimate thing in Portland, but Fisherman's Porch — whose marionberry pancakes draw 90-minute wait times during the show's "Brunch Village" episode — isn't a real restaurant. Its facsimile is actually the Woodlawn neighborhood's Good Neighbor Pizza, which does not serve breakfast and/or brunch food. If its line stretched down "to the South of Burnside," as mentioned on the show, it'd be more than three-and-a-half miles long.

Though Fisherman's Porch isn't a real restaurant, the weird hybrid drugstore/retail shop/cafe owned by Ed Begley Jr.'s pushy short-order cook (in the "Brunch Village" episode) is indeed a real hybrid drugstore/retail shop/cafe. Patti's Homeplate is actually located in the St. Johns neighborhood — not within line distance — but does serve breakfast specials and pie by the slice.

NW dive bar Slabtown — known for its live music, pinball machines, and permanent falafel pop-up — is a frequent site for Portlandia's resident punk-ish couple. Most notably, it featured in the season one "Mayor is Missing" episode where the Mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) was discovered playing bass in a Reggae band.

In a sketch poking fun at "mixologists," guest star Andy Samberg goes behind the bar at popular date spot Mint/820 to create a cocktail that featured (deep breath) "honey, lemon, and charred ice... Cherry tomato, lime zest... egg whites, egg shells, egg yellows, and rotten banana." There isn't a comparable drink on Mint's actual menu, but a "Lemon Drop" can be made using banana flavors instead. (The interior was actually filmed at the now-closed cocktail bar Central.)

Did anyone leave their dog tied up outside NE Portland's Firehouse restaurant? In a season-one sketch, a bleeding-heart Portland couple freaks out over an unattended dog, but at least he gets served some of chef Matthew Busetto's signature dishes, like the braised meatballs ("though leave off the rosemary") and skillet mussels.

The dream of the 1890s is alive in Portland, and charcuterie-makers at Olympic Provisions "welcome you to the sausage party." All meat production at OP — the first USDA-certified meat-curing facility in Oregon — has moved to a new warehouse, but the Portlandia crew made use of the open kitchen at its (original) Southeast restaurant, where the now-iconic "Meat" signage proudly hangs.

In real life, Portlanders flock to the Mash Tun's sunny back patio come summertime, but in Portlandia, an extreme aversion to the sun at the "Shady Cafe" makes Armisen lose his appetite: "My ears are hot. I mean, what is that?"

In a season one segment revealing the ludicrous nature of chef photo shoots, uber-popular brunch restaurant Screen Door provided the exterior for the similarly named Porch Light. (There is a Porch Light in Portland, but it's a shop selling locally made jewelry and candles, not a restaurant.)
