Le Pigeon

Le Pigeon gets props in today's New York Times article on the Golden Age of Portland Dining. Wow, I'm living in a Golden Age. Finally! Does this mean my memories of 2007 will now be sepia-toned?

According to Wikipedia, "In literary works, the Golden Age usually ends with a devastating event, which brings about the Fall of Man". That devastating event may have been me going through the drive-thru of Taco Bell at 9:30pm. Sorry, Man.

Though not named in the article, Le Pigeon is owned by Paul Brady, an old friend of Mr. Best. Paul is also half of Portland's premiere Johnny Cash cover band, Counterfeit Cash. Haven't been to the restaurant, but ate at Colleen's, his previous restaurant in the same spot.

Thanks to Scout for the tip.
