Portland restaurants in today's Guardian

We take two newspapers at home -- the Financial Times and the Guardian. Today's Guardian featured a nice story on Portland that focuses on the growing reputation Portland has as the home for a number of great restaurants.

Among the restaurants mention is Montage, one of our favouries. It concludes with a note on groceries: Oregon is famous for its agricultural bounty, and its groceries reflect this: the produce is cheap, varied, usually organic and always local, from blackberries to honey to homemade soap and artisan-made bread. I pretty much wept at the thought of returning to my paltry old Sainsbury's.
