Dishin' It
Move over Portland Monthly, the Rose City's got a new FREE food magazine. Edible Portland, a joint project from Ecotrust's Food and Farms Program and Edible Communities Publications (which has created sustainable food mags in Brooklyn and Sonoma) is now available at restaurants and grocery stores all over the city. Sure, the new mag is basically a big pat on Portland's back for how cool and forward-thinking we are when it comes to food, but the inaugural issue really does manage to cover a lotta editorial ground in its scant but juicy 40 pages. Check out restaurant and farm profiles, kitchen love letters from local chefs, and meaty stories on regional food production that provide analysis and details normally left out of "Think Organic" bumper-sticker rhetoric. Psst: Edible Communities founders Tracey Ryder and Carole Topalian are so sold on Portland's food-coolness (Ryder says she hopes the new mag will be the "jewel in the crown" among the Edible publications) that they are moving their headquarters from Ojai, Calif., to P-town as we go to print.
