Portland, Oregon, July 17, 2001—
THIS PLACE AND THAT and the other were all fully booked even though it was a Sunday night — Portland's a happening town, restaurant-wise — but then G. remembered one people always seem to forget about until they're reminded, and then they all agree, oh, yes, now that's a fine place, why don't we give them a try? And yes, they did have a six available at seven-thirty, so there we went, and I had
Ham, peas, green garlic, ricotta cream, green beans, and carrot salad with a poached egg
Tajarin in truffle oil with Parmigiano
Duck confit with braised leek, smoked onion, chickpeas, and salbitxada*
And it was a superb meal: I'd go back to this place any day of the week.
