Our April Fools Stories Archive

Every year we try to do  April fools stories for Portland. This might be crazy reviews, fake news posts... whatever imaginative (or unimaginative) ideas I can come up with.

{this, of course, was an April fools post}

This is the first of a new once a month series of articles about food ingredients.… Read the rest
