Navigating Portland’s Food Culture with Nine-Year-Olds

The Takeaway

We’re in Portland this week, and there’s a lot to love in this town when it comes to food: food trucks, farmers markets, artisanal cheese, artisanal everything.
It’s hard to know where to begin. After all, who’s a food snob, and who’s a food lover?
Enter Leo and Soren Westrey. They consider themselves anti-food snobs. And they also happen to be only nine years old. Leo and Soren are the young twins who write the food blog, KIDCHOWPDX, which includes everything from restaurant reviews to recipes.
