This year, Oregon was launched into the national culinary scene in a big way. “Top Chef Portland” aired on Bravo TV this spring, and featured two Oregon chefs: Gabriel Pascuzzi, chef and owner of the Portland restaurants Mama Bird and Stacked Sandwich Shop, and Sara Hauman, who leads the culinary program at Soter Vineyards, creating some of the most innovative and delicious fare in the Willamette Valley. While neither of these Oregon-based cheftestants took the coveted title, simply competing in this competition was a huge honor; and in fact, since the season aired, Soter Vineyards has been receiving record-level reservations, as folks are eager to dine on a Top Chef level meal created by Chef Sara.
