The beginning of the 21st Century is considered by many to be the golden age for dining and eating in Portland, Oregon. At the forefront of this revolution is world‐renowned Chef Vitaly Paley. A James Beard Award winner, Chef Paley finds inspiration for his menu from the local bounty of the Pacific Northwest — from Columbia River line‐caught wild salmon to fingerling potatoes from Eastern Oregon and Kobe beef from Idaho. The menu focus is on local, organic and sustainable practices. In this episode the chef finds himself in the Cascade foothills in search of the perfect berry. The chef lands in a blueberry patch and is surrounded by frolicking farm kids feasting on the fruit and explaining how to pick the prized fruit. With kids in tow, the chef heads back to the kitchen to create several dishes where the blueberry plays starring role.
