Janet Lee Johnson | The Art of Marketing

Portland, Oregon is a fabulous place to live.  You can get just about anywhere on public transportation - even to the airport for $2.00 on a clean commuter train.  We have some of the best restaurants in the world, and (shocking to me), Portland has just been voted the 9th most fit city in the country. 

Here are my favorite Portland food hangouts:

Paley’s Place for dinner and drinks - James Beard award-winning food, and sweet Suzanne makes the best martini on the planet.

Ken’s Pizza for pizza - better than the previous ‘best pizza’ favorite just outside the Vatican in Rome, and one heck of a lot closer!

Simpatica Dining Hall for breakfast - chicken and waffles!  Salmon hash with peas! Amazing food - and for a toast fanatic to say that about a place that doesn’t serve toast… you’ve just got to try it.

Baker and Spice for coffee and cake - if we’re in town, this is where you’ll find us on Saturday mornings.  And bonus!  They’re at Farmer’s Market during the season.  (Another perennial Janet Johnson favorite.)

I’m sure I could list a bunch more - but in summary these are the tops in my book. My sweetie would say that if you’re looking for great information (insider stuff, too) on the Portland food scene, check out Portland Food and Drink.
