Fly&Dine Contributor Paul Bacon returns with a delicious tour of Portland, OR. For more Fly&Dine PDX coverage, click here. I have heard the stories of how Portland has become a foodie paradise. I have seen the Food Network and Travel Channel where they have toured Portland. My question was, “Is it really?†I now have…
Outside of my current home in Los Angeles, there are three other cities in America that I could see myself living in: Chicago (my home and native land), Austin, and Portland (Oregon, not Maine). I’ve loved Portland since the first time I came here roughly ten years ago, long before it was known as #PDX…
Okay, okay, so there’s no such thing as “Virgin Airlines,” but I won’t fault Portlandia too much for that. Do you watch Portlandia? I do. I love it. It’s Fred Armisen (SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney) sending up the idiosyncrasies of PDX in the most hilarious way possible: via a sketch show on IFC. Their…

Thanksgiving is just a few days away and if you want to survive it, you should probably start drinking now. Thankfully, the nation’s airports are happy to help. While impersonal airport bars have been a staple for years, now travelers can get their drink on with way better options than ever before. Wine bars are…
Yesterday, I said goodbye to the rustic environs of Mt. Hood and Welches, OR and drove towards the more suburban part of Clackamas County. Just to give you an idea: Clackamas County is HUGE. It spans so much land that a good solid hour of driving won’t even get you from side to side. While…
The days keep getting better out here in Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory. While my first full day here was filled with nature, my second full day (aka Day 3) was filled with alcohol. And nature. We started the day at Tony’s Fish Market, a smokehouse and cannery in Oregon City. The coolest part of this…
I just spent my first summer weekend in Maine and I’m filled with regret that it took me this long to see the splendor of New England during August. Wow. What an absolutely gorgeous place to be when the weather is just right. I grew up in the Midwest and always appreciated the rare time…
I’ll make this short and sweet since I’m attending a fantastic wedding this weekend in Portland, ME. I posted one of the most popular stories in Fly&Dine history on Friday and if you missed it, this is your chance to catch up. In fact, catch up on all of last week’s stories right now so…
I’m on the East Coast this weekend for the wedding of one of my favorite people on Earth and before I head up to Portland, Maine tomorrow for the wedding festivities, I’m staying for a night in Boston. I’ve been hearing for a while about the Independent Collection hotel group and since I tend to…
If you feel like it’s too early to have Airport Restaurant Month again, you’re right. The first one was barely six months ago in October 2014, but that’s not stopping HMSHost from rolling out Airport Restaurant Month 2105 in May. Just like last time, airport restaurants all over the country are offering multi-course chef’s tasting…
The All-Star Chef Classic came on the scene last year as a food event that’s trying to break the mold. Instead of similar events across the United States where a bunch of big-name chefs set up shop and serve tiny portions of their greatest hits, the All-Star Chef Classic vowed to up their game and…
If Day 1 of The Broadmoor’s very inclusive Taste & Savor Food Festival was all about your individual foodie preferences (choose your favorite seminars, pick your favorite themed dinner, etc.), Day 2 was about the collective group of food lovers getting together to enjoy what The Broadmoor has constructed for this first annual weekend of…
Rankings! Rankings! I’ve got rankings! You want some rankings? How ’bout you? Don’t worry. I’ve got rankings for everyone — that is, if you like major American airports. First thing’s first (I’m the realest): these aren’t my rankings. They were done by Thrillist, a site I’ve been a fan of for a very long time.…
