Product and Portland Metro Business Review Archives

Now and then I do a review of a store or commercial product. You'll find the archive of those stories here.

The Meadow: Singing the Praises of Salt

By CuisineBonneFemme Last Update February 2, 2018

The Meadow Salt Store Portland“Everyone’s Lives Would Be So Much Better If They Just Used The Right Salt.” Mark Bitterman, Local Selmelier

A wonderful thing about Portland is our growing community of small specialty food purveyors. Many of these are based on single obsessions: the perfect latte with foam so pretty and detailed that pictures of it could be framed and hung in a gallery, tiny sophisticated graphic chocolates that are handled more like fine jewels than simple candy store confections, or a pizzeria where if you dare even mutter the words “I’d like Canadian Bacon and Pineapple on that,” you will be given a look so cold it could turn a fresh and hot bubbling pie into a frozen one.… Read the rest

Benessere Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars

By PDX Food Dude Last Update January 20, 2014

Updated: 12/11 – 2nd store.

I happened to walk past Benessere yesterday, but I could only take a quick peek, because I had the dog with me. Though the store has been open a month, I never heard about it, so I sent a friend in today to check it out and take some pictures.… Read the rest

Q Tonic vs. Fever-Tree Tonic

By PDX Food Dude Last Update May 13, 2020

Bottle of Q-Tonic

In January, I reviewed Q Tonic. Now Fever-Tree, another gourmet version has hit local store shelves. I thought it was time to go back and update this post with a comparison between the two.


Gin and tonic - what my dad would call "an honest drink." No fancy juices; direct and to the point. Just about anyone should be able to take the two ingredients and, measuring, come up with a good cocktail.

Review: Baker and Spice

By Joanna Miller Last Update December 20, 2018

By Lizzy Caston. Updated 12.18 – new details, photos, etc.

Baker and Spice is nowhere near my house, yet I seem to have developed quite a knack for inventing errands that take me to or near its Hillsdale location.… Read the rest

Donut Roundup

By Guest Writer Last Update March 17, 2014

Donuts

By Emily James

When FD asked me to start writing for this site, I was extremely nervous. I’m not an expert in any manner of food preparation, serving, or procurement. I am, however, an expert in eating and I have my Lifetime Weight Watchers membership to prove it- from a brief moment, back in 1995 when I was 30 lbs lighter.… Read the rest
