This list was inspired by Melissa Bastian's Vegan NYC 100 Listing for VeganMoFo, which was inspired by Hannah of Bittersweet's Vegan's Hundred.
This was a collaborative effort, I received feedback from vegans on the Post Punk Kitchen forums, via Facebook, Twitter and from straight up conversations in person with my friends.
If you're in the Portland area or familiar with our vegan scene, what are you waiting for?

Just posted this to Vegan.com. What a great feature! Sometimes I kick myself for not moving back to Portland.
this made me SO HUNGRY.
What a great list! Love you.
Kinda can't believe you don't like scallions though. Yum!
it would be super helpful for those people like me that don't do HTML (and just don't feel like having to delete and retype everything), if you could post this untainted, without things boldened and crossed out.
Tofu benedict at Paradox.
Howzabout ANYTHING from Blossoming Lotus Irvington? My best meal in Portland: beginning to end.

Is it totally pathetic that I've lived here my whole life and only got 50/100??? Yikes! I've got to work on that! The only thing I can think to add would be boba milk tea at Chit Chat Cafe downtown. The milk is soy-based, and they even have a boba tea punch card! Taro is the best by far, imo.
Ahh yesss the mashed yams from Papa G's. SO EFFIN' GOOD. Just like candy!
this is a fun list!

Jess. Take a day of work and get some freakin' laurelthirst pancakes. DO IT.
(^That was supposed to say "off" and not "of," natch.)
My mom and I shared the macnocheeto, it was GOOD.
I live in Seattle and only get to Portland once a year or so, so I didn't expect to be able to claim anything on this list. But I've had the Weeping Tiger at the Bye & Bye, as well as Sunday brunch at Sweetpea!
I hate scallions, too! I love the black olive cream cheeze at Sweetpea, though!
Mmm. Yummy list. (maybe a bit of a new To Do/Eat list...)
I'm from Edmonton and I've been to Portland 3 times this year, but I managed to get 27 or so off this list! :)
Can't wait to visit again!
I just posted my list on my blog. I'm WAY behind you on trying all the goodness o the list!
Updated with a link to an original version of this!
The Macnocheeto Rules my universe!
My List:

Can't usually justify this type of non-reuben post, but hey, it's portland-centric, so I did it!
I am planning on moving to Portland from the East Coast, so this just might be my starting point of where/what to eat when I am out exploring! Thanks!
You need to try the Che Guevara Burrito from Laughing Planet! It's delicious!
Oh my. thanks for this list Jess. Would love to share this to my friends in facebook.
Just posted to my site. This is a great jumping off point when we yell... WHAT DO I/WE WANT?! Awesome.
