[NOTE: I spend a lot of time combing through Portland blogs. A lot of time. And as I wander through various RSS feeds, I tend to find a number of really interesting—and, well, awesome—blogs that I don’t really have the opportunity to share. So, now I’ll work on sharing these “Awesome Portland Blogs” with you.]
Seems I can’t swing a piece of bacon without hearing rave reviews for Portland Food and Drink. And with good reason. For a town of awesome food and awesome “blogginess,” it seems only appropriate that we would have an awesome food blog or two.
And, perhaps more than any other, Portland Food and Drink typifies that “awesome Portland food blog.”
And here is the foundation of why Portland Food and Drink is so amazing, and so amazingly popular:
I am passionate about food, passionate about wine, and passionate about anonymity. I have a wide-range of food experience from my earliest years growing up in a food-obsessed family. During college, I worked in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. My first few years in college were related to agriculture, so if necessary, I can prune your orchard, manage your vineyards, or back your baler through one side of a barn and out the other, without any problem. This site is a labor of love – I spend my own money reviewing restaurants because I am passionate about food and want to share my experiences with others. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don’t take free meals, and the restaurants don’t know when, or if, I am coming.
If you happen to eat—ever—then you should be reading. Check out Portland Food and Drink, an Awesome Portland Blog.

PF&D’s Food Dude is one of the more even handed, trustworthy ‘critics’ in town, which is admirable given the fact that it’s a completely opaque operation. I don’t agree with some of his opinions, but I do respect them. His collection of non-anonymous bloggers who contribute are a mixed bag.
On the other hand, he screws up 75% of the rumors he publishes. I wish he didn’t do that.
Yeah, I’ve spent a bit of my time creating and contributing to conversations on the site. Gotta love PF&D. That and extramsg.com is where most of us go for a foodie read/write.
I like the varied blogs we have in Portland, there are just so so many…I try to keep up with checking them out from my portland metblog and orblog rss feeds, but there are so many fantastic people talking out there…keep it up Portland!
