Food Friendly City: Portland, Oregon
World's Fare By Marguerite Thomas
On the western edge of Oregon where the Willamette and Columbia rivers meet, lies Portland, Oregon, one of North America's finest epicurean destinations.
I'm not just talking about expensive gourmet restaurants, although there is no lack of these here too.
What I am referring to is the kind of genuine food culture that may be a way of life in other countries (France & Italy come to mind), but is less common in the US.

Local Love: Aardvark
There's a chill in the air, which means I'm looking for ways to warm up. One way is to cook up a bunch of spicy food. And since I've discovered the Secret Aardvark, my chili has a bit more kick. Secret Aardvark is a habanero hot sauce that's made right here in Portland, and it'll knock your socks off.
Like many other local food companies, Aardvark started off selling their sauces at the Portland Farmers Market. Now, they sell all over Oregon, Washington and Montana. You can get it at grocery stores like Whole Foods and New Seasons, plus a ton of other outlets, listed on the Aardvark website. Do you have a local product you love? Tell me about it by posting a comment below. Local Love: Aardvark originally appeared on About.com Portland, OR on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 22:23:20.
