Portland: Three Writers, Three Different times, One City

...Feeling prideful of our trek that day, we took a short cab ride to Wildwood Restaurant for dinner. Heralded by Gourmet, Zagat and the James Beard Foundation for its dedication to sourcing Pacific Northwest, Executive Chef Cory Schreiber was one of the leaders in Oregon's cooking local movement. Under the ceiling's curving wave of wood, we supped on local Draper Valley Farm clay-roasted chicken with chanterelles and baby new potatoes. This paired superbly with Domaine Drouhin's 2002 Pinot Noir - earthy, mushroomy, silken cuvee was a great match for the rich bird.

... To this city of superlatives, I think I may have to add one more of my own - "Best Dining City in the Northwest."
