The Meadow: Singing the Praises of Salt
“Everyone’s Lives Would Be So Much Better If They Just Used The Right Salt.” Mark Bitterman, Local Selmelier A wonderful thing about Portland is our growing community of small specialty food purveyors. Many of these are based on single obsessions: the perfect latte with foam so pretty and detailed that pictures of it could be framed and hung in a …
Benessere Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars
Updated: 12/11 – 2nd store. I happened to walk past Benessere yesterday, but I could only take a quick peek, because I had the dog with me. Though the store has been open a month, I never heard about it, so I sent a friend in today to check it out and take some pictures. Benessesre is located downtown at …

Drop everything! Are you into chocolate? I just went to …

I am, however, an expert in eating and I have my Lifetime Weight Watchers membership to prove it- from a brief moment, back in 1995 when I was 30 lbs …
Foster & Dobbs Authentic Foods
I’ve been passing the Foster & Dobbs store at NE 15th and Brazee (next to the new Mio Gelato) for the past few weeks, but it has always been at night when they were closed. Today I made a special trip to see what they were all about. This is a somewhat higher-end food store. By “somewhat”, I mean they …
