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 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.

Second issue of Lucky Peach hot off the presses!

Second issue of Lucky Peach hot off the presses!

Lucky Peach

November 28, 2011 in Food Gifts, Lucky Peach, Uncategorized

Have you read this magazine? This second issue just arrived in my mailbox and I love it. The moment I heard that McSweeney's was coming out with a food magazine I got a subscription. After the first two issues I can't recommend Lucky Peach enough. I'm not the only one that loves it. This is the kind of food/drink magazine I've been dreaming of for a long time.

In Lucky Peach you won't find page after page of fussy kitchen and food shots that require stylists and production teams and you won't have to page through seemingly endless glossy ads until you get to the meat of the matter. There are paintings of past-its-prime blue cheese, recipe corrections composed in comics, how-to photos for killing and cleaning fish, and stickers! (The mock fruit stickers -- you know these kinds of stickers but funny -- are between page 112 and 113 in the second issue.) There's cursing. There's a haiku about corn with miso butter and bacon. There are honest and original stories with strong voices that you haven't heard before that make you laugh, think and feel and want to cook and eat. It's real, raw and it's ripe for the picking. Go get yourself a Lucky Peach.

LUCKY PEACHSubscribe!
