Food

Ever since I moved to Portland, all I have heard about is Ken's Artisan Pizza. It even won of the local "restaurant of the year" awards. A pizza place? Best restaurant of the year? This would have never happened in New York or Chicago. A few foodie friends of mine raved about it and said I had to go.

Mary and I went last night. Now I understand the hype. It was hands down the best pizza I've ever had and that says something from living in two pizza capitals. Best restaurant in Portland? One of the best but it depends on the criteria you use. The best part? Right after we placed our order, the restaurant lost power. They kept making the pizzas in the oven. As we ate our food by candlelight, I couldn't help thinking that the loss of power only added to the atmosphere. It also fueled our anticipation of the food. The only downer is that there are long waits for a table. We arrived right when they opened and we were one of the last groups seated.
