In conjunction with the Portland Center Stage's production of I Love to Eat comes this mini-documentary about James Beard and his mark on the local food scene. Among the culinary folk interviewed: Nostrana's Cathy Whims, Le Pigeon's Gabriel Rucker, and Clyde Common's Chris DiMinno. Says Whims: "He made us celebrate our own local products and our own cuisines in this country. And it gave us the building blocks to step out on our own." [YouTube via OregonLive]
