    Reader Survey 2012: Best Restaurant in Portland #19 Ned Ludd

    The Luddites were 19th-century English textile artisans, who violently protested against the machinery introduced during the Industrial Revolution. Chef Jason French pays homage to their mascot, Ned Ludd, for whom the movement was named, and cooks everything from a wood-fired oven. No other source of heat is used; it’s all very Portland.

    The kitchen is tightly focused on a few items that they can do very well; simple preparations and combinations, heightened with an unusual ingredient here and there. A charcuterie board is always on the menu, paired with a dense bread, terrific house-pickled cucumbers, mushrooms and celery. The last time I ordered one it came with herbed copa di testa, duck bacon, warm lamb rillettes, thin strips of ham, and smooth, creamy liverwurst.
