For its 2012 holiday food issue, the Portland Mercury serves up a dose of "Decadence and Decay," including a round-up of Meatless Holiday Entrees that Aren't Eggplant (including Natural Selection's pumpkin gnocchi and Blossoming Lotus' beet-citrus salad) and this feature about Portland chefs' Tales of Excess (including a 21-course meal at Metrovino and a truffle-laden dinner by Nostrana's Cathy Whims).
