I can't think of a better way to ring in the New Year!

For my fellow Oregonians, love this Travel Oregon article about choosing local ingredients for your Thanksgiving table!

I plan on making the NYT's Cranberry Curd Tart recipe with Oregon cranberries. It's visually stunning, but more importantly, delicious!

Have you been watching the newest season of Ciao House?! It's set in Puglia! Making me so excited to head there next spring - I can't wait for orecchiette pasta most of all.

Puglia is across the boot from the Amalfi Coast and a bit more of a hidden gem, at least for American travelers. It's got stunning rocky coastlines and the white washed buildings give a little feel of Greek isles, olive trees and cacti, super fresh seafood. If you're ready to get off the beaten path, this is the tour for you!

*pronunciation note: Puglia = "pool-ya" 😉 those "gl" and "gn" combos are tough!

Hosts and judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini welcome 12 talented chefs to Puglia, Italy, where they will live and cook together, fusing their own culinary styles with Italian cuisine. One chef's journey ends when their own team votes them out of the villa.

First Thursday in the Pearl is back as of April 4th! Head to the west side next Thursday to support our city’s small businesses ❤️

First Thursday (Portland OR) in the Pearl District is back starting in April! Originally a gathering of art collectors and dealers, the celebration has grown to a monthly event of more than ten thousand people. It includes art enthusiasts, wine aficionados, and scenesters looking to see and be seen. It's an absolute blast. See you there on April 4th!

Love this Oregonian list for dining in Downtown Portland. Several of our partners are on the list, including Bullard Tavern and Mucca Osteria, and I would add Southpark Seafood for amazing seafood, Grassa for pasta always, and Addy's Sandwich Bar for lunch! Pine Street Market is back in action, the new Mid-town beer garden is awesome, and the cherry blossoms are stunning. time to Visit Downtown Portland!
