Food & Drink WW's annual Restaurant Guide will hit the streets Oct. 19. As always, it features our pick of the 100 best restaurants in Portland—but only one will receive the coveted title of Restaurant of the Year. This year, we'll be releasing the guide with a special dinner at that restaurant, and you're invited. Just one catch: we aren't going to tell you where it is until the day of the event. Tickets are ...   More

Food & Drink It's getting close to that time of year when I have to decide what restaurants to send reviewers to for our Restaurant Guide. While the Guide is always a list of our 100 favorites, we review many more each year that don't make the cut. I try to consider the broadest possible swath of Portland's restaurant ecosystem every year, but I can't claim to have tried every place in town. That's where you come ...   More

News Last month, in honor of WW's Restaurant Guide 2010, we held a contest asking readers to tell us the best thing you've ever eaten in this city (in 200 words or less). Well we've got a winner, Caitlyn Monaghan, who made our mouths water with her food porn-y love letter to the pimiento cheese "Elvis" burger at new, sustainable minded American diner Dick's Kitchen (3312 SE Belmont St., 235-0146). ...   More

Oregon's paper of record devoted four pages to explaining why foodies (ahem, you) are assholes and why you should spend your hard-earned dollars at Shari's, Taco Time, Old Spaghetti Factory and ...   More

News Willamette Week's 2009 Restaurant Guide is out today, inside every issue of this week's paper. We had a blast, as always, putting the guide together, and noticed a few things along the way that didn't make it into the guide. First, turnover. The following restaurants that were in last year's guide have either closed or undergone such drastic changes that they might as well have: 23Hoyt, Alberta ...   More

News In honor of WW's 2010 Restaurant Guide (which will be inserted in your print copy of Wednesday's newspaper or available online tomorrow morning, whoo-hoo!), we wanna read all about your most delicious food experience in Portland. We're talkin' tops—moan-worthy, embarrassingly loud food-orgasmy kind of stuff—be it at a sit-down restaurant, coffee shop, food cart or farmers market. In ...   More

News Hello there! I hope you've picked up a copy of our 2010 Restaurant Guide. I hear they're going fast. There are a few things I'd like to add that couldn't fit in the Guide or came in after deadline. First, doesn't John Gorham, chef and co-owner of our restaurant of the year, Tasty n Sons, look dashing with the engraved cleaver we gave him? Also, if you haven't yet watched Riley Hooper's video of ...   More
