20 Years In

The Oregonian's Diner 2014 begins its slow roll-out today, with a profile of downtown institution Higgins, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The passion of chef Greg Higgins (who talks about the culinary influences of Thomas Jefferson and Pliny the Younger) is the central focus: "What's really great about good food is it has roots and an identity. It's like classical music. You have to keep playing it. It's about execution, ingredients, repetition." [OregonLive]
