There’s a new crop of restaurants that are challenging the boring old red-sauce-and-meatballs cliché of Italian food in Portland. It’s seasonal, it’s fresh, it’s fun, and it’s even kind of weird. On Thursdays we talk about food on City Cast Portland, and today lead producer John Notarianni is talking with Brooke Jackson-Glidden, editor of Eater Portland, about the explosion in creativity we’ve seen recently in Portland’s Italian food scene.
