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!

Friend of the blog Ronna Mogelon and her excellent Poutine Chronicles, a blog about the search for the perfect poutine, got a hat tip in the New York Times yesterday. In a post entitled Getting Beneath the Gravy in the Diner’s Journal, The New York Times Blog on Dining Out, Kim Severson writes:

If you need to learn more about poutine – and really, who doesn’t? – Diner’s Journal suggest spending a little time with Ronna Mogelon and her Poutine Chronicles.

The nuances of the French-Canadian dish built from gravy, cheese curds and French fries are myriad. Does it taste better on a plate or in a foam cup, which allows the dish to stay melty and warm to the last bite. Should poutine be tarted up with foie gras? And does poutine have a season? (Apparently yes.)

Ronna is also the creator of the famous fauxtine cake, featured previously on Portland Poutine: Let Them Eat Poutine.
