  • #399 Sandra Tavares - Portugal's Travel Designer

    #399 Sandra Tavares - Portugal's Travel Designer
    Nov 8 2024
    Sandra Tavares knows the people, places and things that make up a wonderful culinary and wine journey throughout Portugal. Sandra started her career as a journalist and found herself covering a burgeoning food scene, to the point where she realized she would enjoy developing tours and experiences for people, and taking them to the best Portugal has to offer, rather than just writing about them. Eventually she met her husband Vitor, and as things happened, eventually they landed in a beautiful vineyard and winery owned by Portugal's benchmark Kopke wines, where Vitor developed a restaurant to serve the local bounty that complemented the wine. And his deep contacts in the industry in turn, became Sandra's as well. Sandra is uniquely positioned to be the foremost authority on food and wine in Portugal. To that end, she designed a wonderful itinerary that our podcast host Chris Angelus' Portland Food Adventures is offering in May of 2025, on which food and wine loving folks can travel with St. Jack chef Aaron Barnett to Porto, the beautiful Douro River Valley and Lisbon to take bites and sips of the varied histories and customs of the beautiful country. The trip features two hotels and inns from the folks at Kopke as well as dining with solid Michelin-star chefs throughout the region, as well as some pub food curated by expat Don Bourassa, former Portland Yelp Community Director. This podcast is a fun journey outside of our area, but with Portland connections to keep us grounded!

  • Chris and Cort talk Travel & 2024 Election + Classic Episode (#394): Kurt Huffman talks food at PDX

    Chris and Cort talk Travel & 2024 Election + Classic Episode (#394): Kurt Huffman talks food at PDX
    Oct 25 2024
    After experiencing the new Portland airport (PDX), we revisit our recent interview with Kurt Huffman of ChefStable who talks about the ins and outs of having multiple restaurants at PDX, from Grassa to Loyal Legion. Chris and Cort express how this first impression visitors will have of Oregon and Portland is key to the area's growth. And... For the first time in the Right at the Fork's 10+ year history, Chris and Cort decide it's time to talk politics on the podcast, but from the perspective of travel and how the world not only looks at our country, but how history may repeat itself for generations that never experienced fascism. Chris shares his travel experiences and how insightful he thought Rick Steves' recent episodes covering both facism taking hold in Europe and the importance of travel to open one's mind up to a larger picture. Basically, while issues are important, democracy is at stake in this election and Rick Steves does a masterful job presenting a case for thoughtful voting. While long, highly recommended programs to watch and share!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp6keXi0Ca0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ELvxuKMUQ
