Food Is About Pleasure, But Please Control Yourselves

Sometimes, once I post a new review, I’ll take a moment to browse sites like Yelp and Citysearch to see what other people think. Sometimes I’ll stumble across a comment that really makes me laugh. Some people really feel passionate about the Bistro I just reviewed. Take this comment: “This jewel knows food & drink is but signifier of things

My flashback started with a little piece about homemade butter on The Splendid Table. mentioned how important the quality of the cream was, and I was reminded of my childhood – stepping out onto the front porch every morning to find the latest delivery from the milkman sitting in a little wire basket. If I got up really early, I’d hear him coming up the driveway, the bottles clinking together

news-2

It’s been a while, but good things come to those who wait! News, News, News (and gossip!)

Lots of openings: Cacao has opened their 2nd location, this in the corner of The Heathman. It’s a charming shop in a perfect location (and I almost never use the word “charming”.)

The eagerly anticipated Lincoln Restaurant will be opening on NE Williams this Friday. We hope to have a sample menu posted soon.

gossip

Updated: Statement from Terroir’s ex-PR firm: The Willamette Week is reporting that Terroir Restaurant and Wine Bar has closed. Much like Cole, we were not aware of the status of Terroir’s operations as we had ceased representation of Terroir in late ’07. As an added note, we did not work on the publicity of his 2004 book The Sustainable Kitchen
