On my trip to Portland, Oregon I had a chance to check out some cool food spots. Pastaworks is a market with a simple restaurant attached where they prep your meal in front of you. Like everywhere I go, I had to try some good local cheeses. I got a wodge of Boerenkaas raw milk gouda from Willamette Valley Cheese and a good slice of Rogue River Blue from Roque River Creamery.
Add a few thin slices of high quality salami and a fresh baguette, and we had an amazing pre-lunch snack. This is such a great way to taste some of the local artisan creations in the area before we hit the food carts.
