Welcome to Groupon Portland! For our inaugural deal, $10 gets you $20 worth of grub and guzzle at The Original: A Dinerant, located at 300 SW 6th Avenue.
You're probably thinking, "That sounds great, but I've never bought a car or a computer without first reading the Wikipedia definitions for car and computer—I'm not about to buy a Groupon either without a briefing." Well neither would we, and since this is everyone's first Groupon, allow us to briefly explain how it works.
How Groupon Works
Groupon is a combination of the words group and coupon. Each day, we offer an unbeatable deal on the best of Portland: restaurants, spas, sporting events, theater, and more. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won't find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power"!
If you want to get the deal, just click BUY before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people (20 for today's deal) sign up by the end of the day, you'll get a printable gift certificate in your inbox the next morning that you can use whenever you want (well, at least until the deal expires—today's expires in six months). If not enough people join, no one gets the deal (and you won't be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the discount!
It's nice to wake up to something new every day. Some people get their daily fix from desk calendars with a cute puppy and a funny caption every morning. Groupon is like a desk calendar, except the puppy is an unbeatable discount and the funny caption is a profound reflection on the flowers and needles growing from life's cactus. We selflessly share our deep insights, hoping that you will join our mob of consumers, thus strengthening our collective buying power and commanding even better deals.

When you combine leftover ingredients in your house (ranch dressing and grape nuts, milk and legos), they never taste as good as you hope. For $10, you’ll get $20 worth of comfort food with a twist that tastes as good as you hope at The Original: A Dinerant, a restaurant that's also a diner.
The Original's menu features delicious food-hybrids of all varieties. For breakfast, try the mac 'n cheese pancakes (golden flapjacks smothered with cheese; $7) or the PB&J monte cristo (a creative spin on the after-school staple with corn-flake crust, Marcona almond butter, and sweet huckleberry jam; $9). After tasting your homemade beef-tarts and toasted chicken strudels, you know pastries combined with meat are delicious; The Original’s famous voodoo burger masters the formula with gluttonous perfection: a glazed doughnut (scissored bagel-style) sandwiches a cheese-covered natural-beef patty to create the multisensory mash-up of the millennium ($7.95). On a lighter note, the restauriner also offers a selection of salads ($9 half, $12 full) or the option to assemble your own roughage ($5 half, $7 full). If you like desserts, you’ll want to save room for a slice of homemade cake or pie. Coconut fans on Facebook will appreciate the Pure Joy, a fudge cake-filled ode to the joyous blue-wrappered candy bar with milk chocolate ganache, candied almonds, and coconut filling ($8 slice).
The Original’s modern wooden booths, minimalist décor, and massive windows add an upscale spin to the traditional diner. Its interior, an homage to Portland’s culture and the Rat Pack, was featured in the Portland Tribune and Hotels magazine.
