In preparation for next week’s Follow Friday tweet, I’ve compiled a list of Portland poutine purveyors on Twitter. (The following Follow Friday will be a list of Portland poutinesque purveyors.)

While preparing the list, I realized that perhaps Portland Poutine readers are unaware that we are even on Twitter – we are!

Portland Poutine on Twitter: @PortlandPoutine

And here are the poutine purveyors on Twitter that I’ve found so far:

• Lincoln Restaurant: @LincolnPDX
• Potato Champion: @PotatoChampion
• The Original: @theoriginalpdx
• Melt: @MELTportland

Not that long ago, we learned we had a cholesterol problem. I am using the Queen’s version of “we,” meaning, *I* have a cholesterol problem. But it’s quite likely that Dave may have a cholesterol problem also, since we eat pretty much the same thing. And he is also the man that dreamed up portlandpoutine.com. So if there was ever a case to use the royal “we,” this is it.

Part of my heritage is French Canadian, and it just seemed wrong that something like cholesterol could impede my ability to celebrate the food of my ancestors.

Savor 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!
