must read: 100 best places to stuff your faces

How exciting! A friend of mine from blogland has written a book…and my friends, it’s fantastic! Jen Stevenson is a well-known food blogger in these parts (meaning Portland, naturally) – this girl is a fantastic writer, and knows her way around a restaurant menu. She’s unbelievably astute when it comes to sleuthing out undiscovered culinary gems and showing off the best, least-known delights Portland has to offer.

Her book, 100 Best Places to Stuff Your Faces is already a huge hit here in PDX, but naturally, it needs to travel. If you have any plans to visit the Rose City any time soon, believe me when I tell you this book is an absolute must. Without it, you’ll be stuck dining at the same three restaurants every single local will recommend to you, and you won’t even get near the best spots, which are almost always off the beaten path. After all, Portland is nothing if not hipster, which usually means the best finds are hidden down a back alley, behind an unmarked door, in a suburban neighborhood across town.

{Side note: Speaking of hipsters, you must watch this video about “Hipster Rules” from last season’s new show, Happy Endings (warning: there’s an auto-play video on that site…très annoying). Spot-on description of the Portland vibe.}

Ahem…as I was saying. This witty, utterly charming little guide would also make an excellent gift for any local friends you have. I’ve already found literally dozens of places I’d never tried (or, in many cases, never even heard of), and am so looking forward to working my way through all of Jen’s fantastic finds.

Plus, how often do you get to send a hipster something they haven’t already seen?
