The Portland food world is abuzz with a flurry of new developments this week, as the city returns to life after winter hibernation and the dream of herd immunity is finally within sight. Several highly anticipated projects that were shelved due to the pandemic are at last moving forward, and some of the pandemic’s most popular openings have exciting news. There’s lots to look forward to: Mama Đút has revealed plans for a second location, a “mountain izakaya” from Joshua McFadden, a Michelin-starred chef, and a star bartender is coming soon, and the takeout fried chicken joint Holler will open its dining room soon. Plus, two new juice bars have opened, a new fried chicken cart has arrived, and Known Associates Social Club has brought Mexican-Vietnamese fusion to Portland. Read on for all that and more culinary updates. For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.
