Forktown Food Tours
November 24th, 2010

Jessica Kleiderman was so inspired by the wealth of good food in Portland’s neighborhoods that she started a tour company to share that wealth, and called it Forktown.
Any foodie who’s been here knows that the abundance of craft artisans (chocolatiers, bakers, cheesemakers, distillers, brewers …) in Portland is unparalleled. And some of the most interesting ones seem to be hidden within neighborhoods, these locals’ favorites.
Twice a week, Jessica invites you to her “Forktown,” leading tours to the Northwest and North Portland areas where you can taste for yourself why Portlanders find their city so delicious.
Kina, owner of PBJ's food cart, explaining where they get all of the local ingredients for their grilled sandwiches, and why they make their own peanut butter.
She’ll take you to restaurants, sandwich shops, food carts, bakeries, gardens and surprise places that make this city so unique. What you’ll find is that people who greet you are so happy to be making a living making the food that they love that they are proud to share it with you.
