Portland food news and views
Portland! It’s where I live, work, and play. It’s where the food news happens (at least most of it). This category is one of the real constants on Bridgetown Bites and is probably a part of almost every post on this blog.
Here are some posts by my fellow food bloggers that I liked quite a bit this past month.

So I’m heartened by the news that he’ll be back and that progress on repairing the building is going well.

It was a beautiful day at Friday’s Grand Tasting.
As you probably know by now, I only attended a couple of Feast events this year, while I was volunteering.
