09.21: John Gorham & Liz Crain
2013-08-13 23:35:39| Powells Books Events Calendar
At the heart of Portland's red-hot food scene is Toro Bravo, a Spanish-inspired restaurant whose small plates have attracted a fiercely loyal fan base. But to call Toro Bravo a Spanish restaurant doesn't begin to tell the whole story. For Chef John Gorham, each dish reflects a time, a place, a moment. The Toro Bravo (McSweeney's) cookbook is an honest look behind the scenes: from Gorham's birth to a teenage mother who struggled with drug addiction, to time spent in his grandfather's crab-shack dance club, to formative visits to Spain, to becoming a father and opening a restaurant. Gorham will be joined by coauthor and food writer Liz Crain.
