Nellie,
check out the article in Food and Wine in today's NY Times.
I'm craving yummy food...

Re: Nellie

I heard about it but haven't had a chance to read it.

I'm hoping for more :dinner: in my future. I hear it mentioned my favorite Thai place. Mixed feelings about that -- well deserved but it can't get too crowded.

Re: Nellie

Here is the link if anyone is interested, covers Portland dining and a bit on wine:

But why do they keep coming out here? Isn't there enough to cover there?

And did you see the scallops with basil below? I want some of that. That was a separate article.

Re: Nellie

I saw the scallops with basil. I don't cook much seafood, because the fish counters here stink. If fish is fresh, it doesn't have that fishy smell.

I don't know why they like to go out to your area - the wine? Or maybe they're trying to convince us that it's not so bad out on the last frontier!

Re: Nellie

Oh....Alison....I just read that Saveur named Chicago as the next "it" city and the person gueses urban-ethnic is the new food trend.

Re: Nellie

Is there an article about Chicago in Saveur?
I am such a whiner when it comes to food in Chicago. We almost drove to Indianapolis a couple of weekends ago to have dinner.

Re: Nellie

Bon Apetit!
