We enjoyed our visit with Star Chefs earlier in the year. Antoinette Bruno and her crew were so fast, so smart, sophisticated and interested and interesting. For a follow-up, they decided to add three new categories to the Portland Rising Stars Awards, to be held December 5. One of the categories? Coffee Roaster. Here are the nominees; congratulations to all.
In case you want to join me, I'm rooting for Din xx
