Food Lover's Guide to Portland Blog...

began as a collection of some of the research, recipes, images and culinary adventures that went into the making of Food Lover’s Guide to Portland. The first edition came out in 2010 and I started the blog in February 2009 as a companion piece to it and to help organize my thoughts while researching and writing it. The second edition came out in September 2014 from Hawthorne Books. The blog is now home to all different food, drink and beyond things I want to show and tell.

I’m also co-author of Fermenter: DIY Fermentation for Vegan Fare, author of Dumplings Equal Love, co-author of Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull from McSweeney’s, as well as Hello! My Name is Tasty: Global Diner Favorites from Portland’s Tasty Restaurants from Sasquatch Books and Grow Your Own: Understanding, Cultivating, and Enjoying Cannabis from Tin House Books.

I didn’t think I’d like blogging when I first started this, but it turns out I really do, mostly because I get to shout out people and things that I love.

Thank You For Everything!

Maybe you read this blog every week, every once in awhile, or maybe this is your first time here. Regardless thank you for being here now, perhaps often, and thank you for caring about Portland food and food culture.

Ever since my book Food Lover's Guide to Portland came out -- about six months ago now -- I've been overwhelmed by all the personal and professional support you all have given me by reading my blog, coming to my book events, buying my book and helping to spread the word about this delicious city. I feel loved and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing in small, big and mysterious ways.

Right now I'm back to my gig as editor at Hawthorne Books, I'm working on various freelance and fiction projects AND I'm working on a big, beautiful, new book proposal. Yep, that's right. I can't tell you much more about it at the moment beyond that it's a very exciting collaboration, it's Portland-based and I can't wait to get out of proposal land and back into writing-a-book-land again. I'll be sure to keep you posted. I think you're going to like this one.

Due to this and other projects I'll be posting one-to-two blog posts a week rather than the always two a week in order to stay sane. As always, if you want a signed copy of my book you can get that from me or you can also buy from my favorite bookstore in the world. And if you own or work at a business that wants to carry my book please call 800.775.0817 and you'll get a sweet wholesale deal. Below is a list of some recent reviews that make me smile. Thanks for all of your support!
