Portland Poutine on Savor Portland

February 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

Savor PortlandSavor Portland, a weekly show dedicated to a Portland-centric exploration of every facet of growing, manufacturing, creating, marketing, and exploring the things we consume day in and day out, debuted Tuesday, February 2nd on PDX.FM at 4pm.

And Portland Poutine was the first guest!

The host of Savor Portland, Devlyn Swenson, is a friend of the blog. Heather and I explored every facet of growing, manufacturing, creating, marketing, and exploring the things we consume day in and day out, but mostly we talked about poutine, and PortlandPoutine.com.

Listen to the podcast (available soon on iTunes!) to hear ramble on (or is it prattle?) about raisins, cheesecake, anchovies, and of course french fries, cheese curds, and gravy poutine sauce!
