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.

Portland's first Zagat Guide!

Portland's first Zagat Guide!

Portland Zagat Guide Giveaway

January 28, 2013 in Portland Restaurants, Portland Zagat, Uncategorized

This summer and fall I was lucky enough to get to work on Portland's first very own Zagat Guide. A few weeks ago I came home to a box of them hot off the presses on my front porch. Have you seen it yet? What do you think? I'm sharing most of my copies with friends and family but I'm also giving one away here to a lucky commenter. I've written down a number as usual and that numbered commenter will get a copy of the guide. And just so you know this is how you pronounce Zagat. I've botched the pronunciation for years.

What I'd like to know is this -- what are some of your favorite brunch spots in Portland? I've been going to brunch more these days and it's always nice to know of new spots. Some brunches that I've really been digging lately -- Kenton Club (pop-up brunch every Saturday and Sunday), EaT Oyster Bar and Interurban. I live in North Portland and tend to stay up in the hinterland for brunch but suggestions throughout Portland are welcome.

Check out this recent Oregonian interview with Nina Zagat.
