I’m a chef, a writer, and a barfly, and I love living in Portland, Oregon!

Poke around my blog enough, and you’ll find where I used to write restaurant reviews of my favorite places. Some no longer exist, others have held on, but I have way more places in this city that I love telling people about than I can ever write about well (at least, without making a full-time job of it!)

After racking my brain to remember my favorite bars and carts to some colleagues who wanted to see more of the city, I realized “I need a friggin’ list for these…” So I’m making one!

The map has some of my favorite spots and why- maybe I’ll see you at one of them!

Stay Classy,
