The 19th century travel saying about Italy was, "See Naples and die." That is, when you've escaped the cold rain of England, say, and savored the Mediterranean sun, you will feel you've experienced all of the joy available in this life.
Now, it's "See Oregon and Die." The meaning is changed. These days you can hire a company to help you dispatch yourself, or help a "loved one" to do so. It's legal, it's probably a profit-center for someone, and they are even holding fashionable lunches at El Gaucho to advertise the exiting service.
El Gaucho is famous for great food. You might want to change your mind after dining there.
