Restaurants of the Year

I always look forward to restaurant guides for Portland. It's not that I always agree with our local media's opinions of "the best," but I just love reading about food. Like an appetizer, reading about food prepares my palate for a delicious meal.

Be sure to grab a Willamette Week this week, and snag the restaurant guide. Then, keep it on your coffee table. Or in your car. Or by your bedside. You'll undoubtedly discover a few new dining spots. Willamette Week's restaurant of the year is Sel Gris, a place I've been wanting to try for months. For their sake, I hope the paper's write-up makes them super-busy. But for my sake, I hope I can still get a reservation for my birthday.
