"Obviously, the old Romanian folk tale of Stone Soup is how we got our name. And so it just seemed appropriate that we bring together people over a warm bowl of comfort.”</p><p>Norah chef Evan Bond reinforced that everything about the event and Stone Soup PDX is focused on community.</p><p>"It's just good to be able to be a part of anything like this that serves to bring people together and create more of a community," said Bond. "I think it's good for the city of Portland and the food industry.”</p><p>He described the dish he planned for the event, a kimchi jjigae - or Korean kimchi stew, as a warm, spicy and tangy comfort food with mushrooms and soft tofu.</p><p>Stone Soup PDX says it hopes to grow the Stone Soup Showdown each year, and invites community members to learn more or support its mission through the organization's website.</p></div></body>
