Restaurant obsessives want to know what's new, what's hot, which favorite chef just launched a sophomore effort, etc., and more often than not, tipsters, readers, friends and family of Eater have one question: Where should I eat right now? Never has that question been more appropriate — November saw an unprecedented flurry of restaurant openings, re-openings, and comebacks 'round these parts, and as a result, we see it fit to update our PDX Heat Map (aka Eater's chronicle of the 'it' places of the moment) for the second time in just three weeks.

So, joining last month's addition of Luce, the Woodsman Tavern, Smokehouse 21, and Via Tribunali, we add Oven & Shaker, Boke Bowl, Noisette, Mi Mero Mole, Mextiza, and Tanuki to the "must eat" list. It's a good month for food, kids. Get goin.
