This Oregon Bagel Shop Hand-Rolls And Kettle-Boils Its Bagels Fresh Every Day

A hot dog wrapped inside a plain bagel sits right on the lunch menu here. That alone tells you this bagel shop has a playful streak and zero fear. The serious part lives in the dough. Every bagel gets rolled by hand, boiled, and then baked, the old New York way. No preservatives join the party.

This Oregon Restaurant Puts Seasonal Pacific Northwest Ingredients at The Center of Every Plate

Ask what’s on tonight’s menu, and the honest answer depends entirely on what got harvested earlier that same day. Seasonal ingredients drive nearly every decision in this kitchen, dishes shifting constantly as farms nearby supply whatever’s actually ripe or ready rather than sticking to a fixed lineup. Plates stay simple too, technique doing the real work instead of unnecessary flourishes competing for attention.

New photo book shows life on the streets of Portland

Three years ago, Keith Zimmerman picked up a camera for the first time at the age of 49. His new photo book "Outside" is his self-published debut depicting the lives of dozens of people sheltering on the streets of Portland — an experience that he is personally familiar with. This month Keith celebrated eight years of sobriety after experiencing addiction and homelessness for decades. “People living outside are just like you — they’re our neighbors,” said Keith, who goes by his artist name, Keith Z. “I wanted to allow a space for somebody who’s not necessarily had that experience to be able to get close to these people and consider them as human beings.” Video and writing by Jireh Deng/OPB Additional photos by Keith Zimmerman.

Crows looking for grub leave Portland-area lawns in tatters

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Portland-area lawns have nothing to crow about these days. Crows are feasting on grubs, leaving turfs torn up. A grub is essentially a beetle. It’s an invasive species. It’s a tasty snack for crows and racoons and other scavengers, but it’s the crows that are doing the most damage to yards.
