Review: Ned Ludd

By PDX Food Dude Last Update January 17, 2014

Ned Ludd Portland - Ling Cod

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.

Review: Crescent Cafe – breakfast in the wine country

By PDX Food Dude Last Update May 29, 2012

First Impressions, by Hungry Soul A little over a year ago, the Crescent Cafe opened to many oo’s and aah’s. Owners, Michael McKenney and Danny Wilser had moved to Yamhill County to “retire” and it seems got bored.
