In a parking lot beside a low slung red brick building, a smoker with two huge chimneys sits in one corner and picnic tables are lined up end to end.

Portland is a world-class food city, no question. Every time we visit, I’m impressed with the restaurants, the quality of the farmers market and with the humbleness of its chefs.
