TBA:12 FOOD
Grüner
TBA Eats
A well-executed meal is a tactile, participatory art performance. This year, PICA has invited a different Portland chef each night to take over our first-ever outdoor kitchen, built on-site for TBA, and cook up food inspired by late summer produce. From noshy snacks to full-blown meals, come eat thoughtful food that could only exist at this peak of local produce, when summer begins to wane. Without a reservation or long wait, experience the imaginative talent in Portland kitchens and chefs’ personal ideas of pleasure and satisfaction. Come hungry!
At Grüner, Portland’s outpost of alpine cooking—which marries French, Italian and German cuisines—chef Chris Israel and his talented team use ingredients fresh from local farms to make artful and generous food. Grüner has the national spotlight, and for good reason: the dishes exist in that incredibly sweet spot of being both rich and light. At Washington High, Grüner will be grilling up house-made sausages, dishing out Lescó--a spicy Hungarian stew of gypsy peppers, onions and tomatoes--serving slices of plum or peach küchen, and more! Don’t miss this chance to eat like a summertime traveler along the Danube River, which is to say, really, really well.
