What’s my Name?
My name is Peter Peter Portland Eater and I do exactly that, eating in and around Portland. I try to pick the best, newest, most popular restaurants or just any restaurant that interests me and then tell my readers about my experience there. I have a blogged at Peterpeterportlandeater.com since 2013 and will now also be producing exclusive content for the BDN Blogs Network. This will give me an opportunity to introduce myself to BDN readers and introduce you, the readers, to restaurants in Portland and whatever else I come up with to share.
Portland quietly became a food mecca over the past couple decades leading up to the past several years during which it’s become nationally and internationally recognized for its overwhelmingly prolific restaurant scene. A number of sources suggest that Portland has more bars and restaurants than anywhere in the US. World class chefs are moving here from everywhere to open eateries and it’s becoming difficult to watch food TV or open a food magazine without Portland being represented in some way. There doesn’t seem to be any slowdown either, as locals regularly enjoy their favorite places and hotels are consistently full of tourists trying to find the best of the hundreds of eateries in the area as new ones open weekly.
I’m honored to have this opportunity to tell you about my experiences and look forward to branching out and blogging about whatever I dream up. I plan on giving you the information to keep up with the ever-changing and fast moving Portland food scene and picking out some gems for you in different areas, letting you know what’s good and what to avoid along the way. In addition, I might give you some insight into the growing beverage arena as breweries, wineries, and distilleries pop up at an alarming rate. I might interview those creating the food, provide you with “best of” lists, or occasionally give you one of my own famous recipes. I’m up for anything and we’ll decide what to do as we go forward.

Stay hungry.
