Get to know Javier Canteras from his original interview on Right at the Fork. From June 21, 2017: Javier Canteras' roots are planted in Madrid, but now he's blossoming as a chef at Urdaneta, the sweet Alberta Street restaurant he owns with his wife, Jael. He's putting out some of the most interesting food in Portland now, which was not his original goal when moving here from Oklahoma to take part in Portland's music scene. He stops by to talk about Spain, life in the midwest, and where you can find him playing his guitar at his Portland gigs.   Right at the Fork is supported by:  Zupan's Markets: www.Zupans.com  RingSide Steakhouse:  www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

For the first time since Portland City Council passed a new prohibited camping ordinance in early May, police on Friday arrested a homeless person for refusing to move or take an offer of shelter. However, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office declined to book the person in jail, KGW reported. Willamette Week was first to report on the arrest Monday. Portland ostensibly began enforcement of the new ordinance at the beginning of July, but this arrest marked the first time that the more drastic consequences of the ordinance have come to bear. According to a statement from the Portland Police Bureau, officers arrested a man identified as Alasdair Macdonald around 9:15 a.m. on Friday for unlawful camping near Northeast 28th Avenue and Alberta Street. Both police and city outreach workers had spoken with Macdonald "several times" prior, PPB said, and he refused to accept shelter or any other services.

It's officially bicycle-riding season in Portland, but buying a new one can lead to a ton of questions: There are so many types of bikes now. How do you choose?

Chances are you've heard of Salt & Straw and if you're one of the lucky ones, you've enjoyed firsthand some of their insanely delicious ice cream, but this Portland born-and-bred company wasn't always the ice cream powerhouse it is today.    In 2011 cousins Kim & Tyler Malek set out to create an ice cream gathering place unlike anywhere else. Kim was the brains behind the concept, bringing years of experience from her career at Starbucks, and Tyler utilized his skills honed in culinary school to develop 30 different flavor recipes in just 7 days (all made with ice cream makers purchased secondhand). They took two tubs of ice cream, chocolate gooey brownie and sea salt with caramel ribbons, served it from a garden trough to their first time customers on Alberta Street, and the rest is history.    From challenges they faced early on to wins they've enjoyed as seasoned business owners, Kim & Tyler discuss it all on this episode of That Was Delicious.    Find a Salt & Straw location near you Follow Salt & Straw on Instagram Follow Female Foodie on Instagram

Richard and Sophia Le are the owners of Matta which serve Vietnamese homestyle and soul food from their food cart off Alberta Street.

The menu at the Back to Eden Bakery in Portland, Ore. features vegan and gluten-free ice cream, cookies and cupcakes, but it might as well itemize its impeccable intersectional credentials. Before hungry customers even set foot in the small shop in north Portland, they are confronted with a battery of progressive signs on a storefront reminiscent of a college equity office. “Safe space,” one of them proudly declares. “Black Lives Matter,” another reminds us. In the name of inclusivity, others carefully list all the different types of identity that are welcome. The bakery is owned by John Blomgren and Garrett Jones, a queer-identified couple. Since their business first opened its doors in 2009 and subsequently expanded, it has unsurprisingly found commercial success among Portland’s (in)famously progressive population. Last month, however, the business’s overzealous politics cost two young employees their jobs at the Alberta Street location after a local activist released a video complaining that she had been denied service for being black. In the wake of the Starbucks scandal in Philadelphia, in which two black men were … The post At this Portland Bakery, White Guilt Poisons the Batter appeared first on Quillette.

[image: 20161217_arts_post-134_2,left,300x390,5852f415280b1e0339fc7fb2]Ever been in an American Legion hall?They're not fancy, but for a certain generation they're as familiar as the corner taproom. They're the place to go for a chat, cheap drinks and of course, monthly bingo — not to mention the assurance of finding people who've experienced military service.Legion membership is shrinking nationally, but one hall in Northeast Portland — an old Quonset hut with a dropped ceiling and scuffed floors — found revival by embracing new people and new voices.American Legion Post 134 on Alberta Street has become a home for all kinds of new voices. In the course of one evening, the audience heard a blazing variety of personal stories and essays, as well as poems and songs. Some writers are vets. Some aren't. Post commander Sean Davis holds book release parties for veterans who are publishing their own work. The post even has its own small press and published an anthology of war stories. 
[image: 20161217_arts_post-134,right,300x390,5852f395ba7639033f073981]So how do you convert a failing American Legion post into an oasis of community and expression, where veterans rub shoulders with queer kids and street people mix with art curators?We recently sat down with Davis, who — as you might remember — ran for Portland mayor last spring. He teaches writing at Mt Hood Community College and is the author of a memoir called "The Wax Bullet War." We were joined by Amelia McDanel — another Legion member, a Navy veteran and MFA grad of Antioch University-Los Angeles — who oversees the Legion Readers' series at the post.Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/radio/programs/state-of-wonder/article/portland-american-legion-post-134/

Mayoral candidate Sean Davis teaches writing at Mt. Hood and Clackamah Community Colleges. His memoir, "The Wax Bullet War", was published in 2014 on Ooligan Press. He's also a U.S. military veteran. 2:00-4:21Sean's work in arts: film, friend's bands, an original opera, etc.4:22-5:46 - On Portland's unique art scene:“Artists happen in a couple different ways. People turn to art because all of their needs are met and they're able to do art. The second group turn to art despite their needs not being met and these people have chosen art over money. Then because of that they struggle because they have to get whatever jobs that are available…That struggle creates character.”7:57-10:12 On the Regional Arts & Culture Council [RACC]:“Art is huge in my life and I credit it with saving my life… The general fund is half of the budget and our roads are falling apart, we can't pay our police officers… Art will always be in that list of priorities, but I cannot commit to saying I'm going to give them the same amount or more of budget. What I will commit to is working with the community.”10:55-11:35 On RACC and diversity:“I love the equity grants, but I don't think they spend enough on diversity. I'd put out more grants where it says in order to get this grant a certain percentage has to be minorities or women."12:08-13:45 On taking an active role in the arts as mayor:“I'd be an art liaison between RACC and the city… When people's voices are being heard in the community, they are invested in that community. When they're invested in that community, art organically will grow from it."14:20-14:48 On bringing the state legislature into housing talks:“We need more support… If we have developers on our side, if we have property owners on our side, and we go down there and say 'We want this to happen', then I don't think they can keep it from happening.”15:42-16:44 On innovations in housing policy:“My idea is to look at the inventory of buildable land that the city owns and say we're going to start a couple projects… We're going to put a priority on everything that you do in these different projects and shorten that time and save you money."18:23-18:54 On creative housing solutions:“What they're doing there [at Right2Dream2] I've never seen before… these guys are looking out for each other. It's not a homeless camp, it's a conduit to get people back on their feet."19:47-21:03 On the community's role:“I think the big thing I'd try to change is our leaders… when they see the issues we're facing they see dollar signs instead of people, they see spreadsheets instead of neighborhoods… We have to respect the work they did in those communities.”22:30-23:09 On Portland's Art Tax:“I think it does great. I'd like it to be a little more transparent… Art in our schools is very important. So important that the voters voted that to be a permanent tax. The thing I've heard is that it's too difficult to figure out how to pay it.”24:32-25:40 On saving Portland's soul:“Portland is unique because of the people who live here… The person who sells you your coffee is in a band, the person giving you your food at night is an actor… The last mayor we elected had a history of lobbying for developers and we've become overdeveloped. We have to save our soul.”26:36-28:23 A place representing your focus on planning:“When I first moved to Alberta Street seven years ago [Last Thursday] was an organic, artist-run event… It was a beautiful, small, low-key thing… now it's just thousands of people moving shoulder to shoulder, young kids looking to get into trouble, some of them at least. It just got out of control because we lost the artists that wanted to deal with it.”29:00-30:05 On solutions:“The problems Portland is facing — houselessness, housing issues, wages — I think it's an oversimplification to say these are separate categories and we have to attack them one at a time… The solution for one thing might go in through the other."
