Bon Appetit's Andrew Knowlton talks with Karen Brooks about the Portland dining scene, revealing his to-go spots in town and going more in-depth as to why Ava Gene's landed on his Best New Restaurants 2013 list: "I like going [to Porltand] because it doesn't feel grown up, it's never never land. But I think some of the restaurants needed to grow up a little bit. That doesn't mean that it has to be white tablecloths or that everything needs to be structured. But Ava Gene's was that next step in the fine-dining industry redefining Portland." [Eat Beat]
