Urban Farmer

Portland is an interesting city for many reasons.  Geographically it sits in nice small blocks and the rich farm land boarders its edges.  Urban Farmer sums up Portland quiet nicely.  This is what happens when a talented chef works with local farmers.

Executive Chef Matt Christianson choreographed flavors and textures masterfully during my visit.  Below are the highlights.

 

grilled rapin with deviled eggs and pickled peppers

local grass feed beef slider with tillamook white cheddar

braised pork belly, apple mustard, ricotta gnocchi, truffle

seared scallops, lobster mousse, cauliflower agnolotti, and pear foam
