Ken's Bánh mì, Ben's Ate-Oh-Ate Space, Craft Beer Course

NORTHWEST: Ken's Artisan Bakery, of macaroon and pizza fame alike, is now tackling Vietnamese with two Bánh mì on its menu: The meat version features chicken liver terrine with pickled daikon, pickled carrots, cilantro, wasabi mayo and Sriracha on a baguette; the veggie version replaces the chicken liver with a bean cake.

EVERYWHERE: Over at Eater National, PDX's own Christian DeBenedetti debuted his recurring "Craft Course" column, which gives readers the lowdown on everything craft beer. Consider it essential reading for closet non-beer-drinkers and boozehounds alike.
