The owner of one of my favorite Portland restaurants, on emerging from the pandemic crisis into a new and unfair challenge: "I’ve spent the past two years forced to play doctor and public health expert. Today, after years of working to introduce people to the complexities of the region, I am being held accountable for the actions of a government in a country where I have never lived, one at whose hands my own family has suffered."
Perspective | I hesitated to call my restaurant Russian. Now it’s more complicated.
Russian cuisine has incorporated countless culinary traditions from its neighbors as well as the great courts of Europe — not unlike the United States.
